[Verse 1] You said come closer Then you turned away Left my hand in the air Like I missed my cue I know you’re tired I know you’ve been hurt But I’m right here now And I’m talking to you [Pre-Chorus] If you need room I’ll stand still If you need time I’ll wait for you But don’t shut the door When I’m halfway in Don’t make me a stranger Just to keep me thin [Chorus] Don’t push me away (Don’t push me away) I’m here to stay (I’m here to stay) Don’t push me away (Don’t push me away) If you let me in I’ll love you better [Verse 2] I see the armor On your shoulder now You wear that silence Like it helps you breathe But I’ve seen the crack In the way you smile When you almost trust What you can’t believe I’m not your fallout I’m not your flame I’m not the one Who came to make you break I’m just a soft place For the night to land A steady heart In a shaking hand [Pre-Chorus] If you need room I’ll stand still If you need time I’ll wait for you But don’t shut the door When I’m halfway in Don’t make me a stranger Just to keep me thin [Chorus] Don’t push me away (Don’t push me away) I’m here to stay (I’m here to stay) Don’t push me away (Don’t push me away) If you let me in I’ll love you better [Bridge] Tell me what hurts I can take the truth I’d rather hear it now Than lose you in the blue No more running blind No more closing in I can meet you there If you let me in [Final Chorus] (code change) Don’t push me away (Don’t push me away) I’m here to stay (I’m here to stay) Don’t push me away (Don’t push me away) If you let me in I’ll love you better Don’t push me away Don’t push me away I’m here to stay I’m here to stay
