[Opening] I didn’t need you to stay I just needed you to see me Even once Without me reaching first [Section] I liked who I was around you That mattered more than the outcome Some things don’t need promises To feel real [Refrain] I didn’t need you to stay But why didn't you stay? empty promises of golden dreams a future life, a future family... but I didn’t need you to stay I didn’t need you to stay... [Acceptance] You moved through my life gently And I let you Not holding on Not asking for more than you had There’s no sadness in this Only honesty And a quiet relief... [hook] I didn’t need you to stay But why didn't you stay? empty promises of golden dreams a future life, a future family... But I didn’t need you to stay I didn’t need you to stay... oh...I didn’t need you to stay. WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY?? [💚] I just needed you to see me Even once Without me reaching first Without the timing Without the effort Without me making space for you I wanted to know If I would still exist If I stayed still If you would ever look for me The way I kept finding you (short pause / instrumental breath) Not to be chosen Not to be kept Just noticed Just met halfway Without me leaning in ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [🎗] 💔💔💔 .... [Outro] I don't understand You didn't have to leave me... .....But you did it anyway
