I'll stay when you run(Mine)

female mezzo Sopran voice, alternativ Rock, Nu metal, powerful

I’LL STAY WHEN YOU RUN

[Verse 1]
You pull the walls around you
Like they could keep the whole world out
I see the panic in your eyes
Every time you say you’re fine somehow

You touch me like you’re scared
I might find something underneath
Then disappear into the dark
Before you’re forced to let me see

[Pre-Chorus]
You call it distance
I call it fear
You keep on vanishing
The closer I get near

And every time you leave
You swear it’s for the best
But I know what you’re running from
It’s beating in your chest

[Chorus]
So run
If you need to run
I won’t chase you through the night
I’ll leave the door unlocked
And keep your side of the bed warm tonight

Go
If you’re terrified of love
If you’d rather bleed alone
But when the silence gets too loud
You’ll know you’re not alone

I’ll stay when you run
I’ll stay when you run

[Verse 2]
You learned to make a weapon
Out of everything you feel
Turn tenderness to gasoline
Then wonder why you cannot heal

You kiss me like a goodbye
Before I’ve even said hello
You think if you destroy it first
Then losing me won’t hurt so much

[Pre-Chorus]
You call it weakness
To need somebody there
So you keep choking on the words
You’re too afraid to share

And every time you leave
You leave your shadow here
Like some part of you is begging me
To make it disappear

[Chorus]
So run
If you need to run
I won’t chase you through the night
I’ll leave the door unlocked
And keep your side of the bed warm tonight

Go
If you’re terrified of love
If you’d rather bleed alone
But when the silence gets too loud
You’ll know you’re not alone

I’ll stay when you run
I’ll stay when you run

[Bridge – whispered / building]
I’m not asking you to promise
I’m not asking you to change
I just want you to remember
You don’t have to be afraid

You can come back broken
You can come back numb
You can come back with nothing
You can come back undone

I won’t save you from yourself
That’s a war you have to fight
But I’ll be here when you surrender
To the part of you that wants to stay alive

[Breakdown]
You can run—
Run until your lungs give out

You can hide—
Hide until you forget what love is

But you can’t outrun
What’s underneath your skin

And you can’t kill
What keeps calling you home

Come home.

[Final Chorus – huge]
So run
If you need to run
I won’t chase you through the night
I’ll leave the door unlocked
And keep your side of the bed warm tonight

Go
If you’re terrified of love
If you’d rather bleed alone
But when the silence gets too loud
You’ll know you’re not alone

And if you lose yourself
Somewhere between the dark and dawn
If you finally get tired
Of pretending you’re this strong

I’ll stay when you run
I’ll stay when you run

Not because I need to save you—
Not because I can make you whole—

But because I know there’s still a part of you
That wants to come home.

[Outro – whispered]
So go…

I’ll leave the light on.
