Stay Beside Me

Verse 1 I don’t always know how to say it right, Sometimes my thoughts turn into flashing lights. I can feel the storm before it hits my skin, And I don’t know where I end or begin. I’m not asking you to fix the scars, Or carry every broken part. Just don’t disappear when the room gets loud, Don’t make me beg for solid ground. Pre-Chorus When my mind starts running into fire, Pull me back with something brighter. Not by force, not by shame, Just remind me I’m still safe. Chorus Just be there beside me When I fall apart, when I lose my mind. Redirect my brain to a softer place, Help me find the light in a related way. Please don’t leave me When the dark gets loud and I can’t breathe. I’m faithful, I’m loyal, I’m trying to heal, But my boundaries are real. Love me close, but love me right, Stay beside me through the night. Verse 2 I don’t need someone breaking down my door, Calling it love when it feels like war. I’ve learned to protect what peace I’ve found, So don’t cross lines just to pull me out. I’ll give my heart, but not my control, I’ll give devotion, but not my soul. If I say stop, then let that mean stop, Real love listens when the tears drop. Pre-Chorus When my thoughts start twisting every wire, Lead me gently somewhere kinder. Say, “Look at the moon,” or “Come take my hand,” Help me land where I can stand. Chorus Just be there beside me When I fall apart, when I lose my mind. Redirect my brain to a softer place, Help me find the light in a related way. Please don’t leave me When the dark gets loud and I can’t breathe. I’m faithful, I’m loyal, I’m trying to heal, But my boundaries are real. Love me close, but love me right, Stay beside me through the night. Bridge Don’t turn my pain into a fight, Don’t use my fear to prove you’re right. I need patience, I need grace, A calm voice and a steady place. If I’m spiraling, don’t let go, But don’t grab harder than my soul. Walk beside me, step by step, Love should never feel like a threat. Final Chorus Just be there beside me When I fall apart, when I lose my mind. Redirect my brain to a softer place, Help me remember I’m not my pain. Please don’t leave me When I’m shaking underneath the weight. I’m faithful, I’m loyal, my love is real, But my boundaries are real. Hold me gently, don’t cross the line, Stay beside me through the night. Outro Stay beside me, don’t control me. Love me softly, don’t consume me. I’ll stay faithful, I’ll stay true, But I need safety loving you.
