"I Just Stayed" (Response)

" I JUST STAYED" Response to "Heart Repairman" by Zoec Performed by: AI Artist Sammy Jones Written by: 12Gauge858 Music INTRO People keep calling me the man that fixed you... Truth is... I never had a toolbox. Never had instructions. Just knew every time life hit hard... you kept getting back up. (pause) So I pulled up a chair. And stayed. --- VERSE 1 You came carrying old storms In folded-up pieces and smiles Said you were fine every morning Been saying it for a while You laughed when things got heavy Like pain was easier that way Kept waiting on people leaving Even on your better days So I parked out on your front porch Sat quiet when words got thin Sometimes love ain't talking louder It's simply staying in --- PRE-CHORUS I wasn't trying to save you Wasn't trying to be brave Just couldn't watch Another good heart break CHORUS I just stayed When the storms came through your eyes I just stayed When your world leaned side to side Wasn't strong enough to fix your hurt Wasn't trying to rewrite your world You found your way through all that rain I just stayed I just stayed VERSE 2 You'd apologize for crying Before tears could hit your face Like somehow needing somebody Was something you should erase You flinched at easy kindness Like it always came with cost Kept waiting for the next goodbye Before we ever got lost Crickets singing through the screen door Coffee cooling in our hands You kept asking why I stayed there I just liked where I stand PRE-CHORUS You call me your repairman Baby that's not true Strongest thing I ever witnessed Was always you CHORUS I just stayed When the storms came through your eyes I just stayed When your world leaned side to side Wasn't strong enough to fix your hurt Wasn't trying to rewrite your world You found your way through all that rain I just stayed I just stayed BRIDGE If I held your hand It's because you reached for mine If I helped you stand It's because you fought to rise You were never broken Just carrying too much weight And the woman standing here right now She built herself this way BREAKDOWN You think I healed you... No... You healed yourself. I just loved you... while you remembered. FINAL CHORUS I just stayed Through the shadows and the rain I just stayed Till your smile came back again You call me the reason But that's not what I see You were always stronger Than you believed you'd be And if tomorrow brings another wave I'll still stay Yeah... I'll still stay OUTRO You weren't looking for somebody to fix you... You were looking for somebody... who wouldn't leave. (pause) I'm still here. AI Artist Sammy Jones Written by 12Gauge858 Music**
