Verse 1 I said something true at dinner You gave me two words back I told myself you didn't care But maybe that's not the fact Maybe no one showed you How to sit inside my storm Maybe two words was the safest thing You knew how to perform Pre-Chorus And I've been making it about love When it was never about that I need to stop asking do you care And start asking where we're at Chorus I don't need you to fix it I don't need you to explain I just need you to stay here While I say the hard thing plain Not a perfect conversation Not the words lined up just right I just need to know you're with me Hear me tonight Just hear me tonight Verse 2 I stopped bringing certain things up Because the silence hurt too much Not the silence of not caring Just not knowing how to touch The real things in between us The ones that need more room Maybe we never learned this Maybe we can learn it soon Pre-Chorus I'm not asking you to be perfect I'm asking you to try I'm not asking for the answer I'm asking you to look me in the eye Chorus I don't need you to fix it I don't need you to explain I just need you to stay here While I say the hard thing plain Not a perfect conversation Not the words lined up just right I just need to know you're with me Hear me tonight Just hear me tonight Bridge Being heard is not a given It's a room that we build slow Every time you stay and listen Is another brick below Is another brick below Outro Hear me Just stay Hear me Just stay And most important — remember, you are extraordinary
