I’m staying anyway

[Verse 1] You left your coffee on the table Half a smile Said “I’ll be fine” You always act like you’re unbreakable I see you shaking all the time [Pre-Chorus] You say “happy endings Those are for movies” Real life cuts deeper than the screen But in this crowded Crooked story There’s one thing I still believe [Chorus] Life’s not always a fairytale Pages tear and colors fade But I love you in the small ways Every hard day Every heartache Life’s not always a fairytale We don’t always get saved But I love you I love you And I’m staying anyway [Verse 2] We pay the bills with loose change Talk big dreams in secondhand sheets You call it losing I call it learning You call it chaos I call it heat [Pre-Chorus] You say “happy endings are for the dreamers” Real love walks through the rain So let the thunder crack above us I’ll still whisper your name [Chorus] Life’s not always a fairytale Pages tear and colors fade But I love you in the small ways Every hard day Every heartache Life’s not always a fairytale We don’t always get saved But I love you I love you And I’m staying anyway
