[Verse 1] Nevertheless, I been in the dark Past cut deep, left hard marks Yesterday felt like a safer lie But I still breathe, I still rise I know what pain can try to do Try to bend me right through you Try to make me fold, make me choose I been bruised, but I don't lose [Pre-Chorus] If I shake, I don't break If I fall, I make space One more step, one more day I’m still here, I’m still awake [Chorus] Better to stay, better to stay I won't fade out, I won't walk away Better to stay, better to stay I’m still alive when the night turns gray Better to stay, better to stay Hands on my chest, I can feel that flame Better to stay, better to stay I got a name, I got a name [Verse 2] Took the hits, wore the proof Every scar got a truth I was close to the edge, I know Still I chose a little more hope Not a saint, not clean, not tame Just a soul that won't surrender pain If the world wants blood, wants blame I turn hurt into a better frame [Pre-Chorus] If I shake, I don't break If I fall, I make space One more step, one more day I’m still here, I’m still awake [Chorus] Better to stay, better to stay I won't fade out, I won't walk away Better to stay, better to stay I’m still alive when the night turns gray Better to stay, better to stay Hands on my chest, I can feel that flame Better to stay, better to stay I got a name, I got a name [Bridge] I know the dark, I know its face It talks real loud, then it loses grace I chose the hurt, I chose the fight I chose to drag my soul to light [Final Chorus] Better to stay, better to stay I won't fade out, I won't walk away Better to stay, better to stay I’m still alive when the night turns gray Better to stay, better to stay Hands on my chest, I can feel that flame Better to stay, better to stay I got a name, I got a name
