You Stayed Lyrics

I didn’t fall all at once
I drifted
One choice
Then another

I knew the truth
I named it something else
I asked for light
And walked away

I saw it clearly
What I’d become

And You stayed
When I didn’t
You stayed
When I ran

I saw the worst of me
And You stayed

I’ve said the prayers
I’ve said them empty
I’ve said them scared
I’ve said them proud

I’ve drawn the line
Then crossed it smiling
I’ve worn the guilt
Without a sound

I didn’t hide it
I didn’t win

And You stayed
When I didn’t
You stayed
When I ran

I stood exposed
With nothing left
And You stayed

I didn’t earn it
I didn’t change
I didn’t fix myself
That day

I just stopped
And let You see

 

And You stayed

You stayed
When I couldn’t
You stayed
When I broke

Every reason to leave
And You stayed

You stayed
You stayed
