If You Want Me To Alternative Rock / Indie Verse 1 The house is quiet, but it’s not asleep, shadows learning how to breathe. There’s a light still on behind the door, I don’t know what it’s asking for. I’ve walked away, I’ve circled back, learned what I have, learned what I lack. No speeches left, no grand excuse, just standing here, waiting on you. Pre-Chorus I won’t swear I won’t be afraid, I won’t promise I won’t break. All I have is what I am, nothing more to second-guess. Chorus If you want me to, I’ll stay, not to save, not to be brave. I won’t lead, I won’t control, I’ll just be here, body and soul. If you want me to, I’ll try, no conditions, no alibi. I won’t run, I won’t undo — I’m here… if you want me to. Verse 2 There’s a child’s voice in the other room, asking questions too big too soon. I don’t know all the answers yet, but I know the ones I won’t forget. I’ve played the hero, played the fool, mistook the fire for something true. I’m done deciding what’s best for you, this choice was never mine to choose. Pre-Chorus I don’t need to win this time, don’t need a sign, don’t need a line. I’ve learned the cost of being sure, learned that love asks something more. Chorus If you want me to, I’ll stay, not to fix, not to persuade. No big words, no secret plan, just an open, steady hand. If you want me to, I’ll be, what tomorrow lets me be. No demands, no overdue — I’m here… if you want me to. Bridge I won’t say forever first, I’ve learned how heavy words can hurt. Let tomorrow come its way, I’ll meet it honest, day by day. Final Chorus If you want me to, I’ll stay, not because I’m unafraid. But because I finally see love is not authority. If you want me to, I’m home, not alone, not overthrown. Nothing claimed, nothing due — just here… if you want me to.
