STAY HERE [INTRO — whispered, very short, no humming] Hey… I know you’re not okay. You don’t have to hide it from me. Not tonight. [VERSE 1] I know that look you get when the room goes quiet You say you’re okay but your eyes give you away You’ve been carrying so much like you have to handle it alone Smiling through the hard days so nobody knows what’s going on But I see the things you never talk about The thoughts you keep inside when everyone else is gone You don’t have to explain every scar to me I don’t need you to be perfect I just need you here with me [PRE-CHORUS] So let your shoulders drop You don’t have to hold it all If the world gets too heavy you can rest here for a while Come a little closer You don’t have to say a thing I already know you’re hurting even when you don’t say it [CHORUS — CINEMATIC] You don’t have to be strong tonight You can put your heart down next to mine If the whole world gets too loud I’ll be the peace you can find You don’t have to fight alone You don’t have to carry it all If you stumble, I’ll be right here I won’t let you face it alone [VERSE 2] I can’t erase the battles that made you who you are And I wouldn’t change a thing about the man behind those scars I wanna know you when you don’t feel invincible When you don’t have the answers and everything feels difficult You can give me your silence I won’t think you’ve gone away You can give me your fear I won’t see you any differently And if tomorrow feels heavy we’ll face it when it comes You don’t have to run from it You don’t have to do it alone [BRIDGE — stripped, intimate] And if you forget who you are beneath the armor… I’ll remind you. Not because you need saving. Because you deserve a place where you can be yourself without having to pretend. So come here. No fixing. No pretending. Just breathe with me. [FINAL CHORUS — MASSIVE CINEMATIC RELEASE] You don’t have to be strong tonight Let the whole world wait outside You can put your heart down next to mine You don’t have to hide You don’t have to fight alone You don’t have to carry it all If you fall, I’ll be right here And if I fall, you’ll be there too We don’t have to have all the answers We just have to stay Whatever tomorrow brings us We’ll find our way [OUTRO — whispered, almost a cappella] You don’t have to be strong with me. Not tonight. Just stay. Lovebug.
