You Helped Me Stay

I've been carrying the days that almost pushed me to the ground

Trying to hold the tears before they ever made a sound

Sometimes I feel lost in places I've already found

But you're the one who pulled me out

The nights get heavy when I'm drowning in my mind

Searching for a meaning that I never seem to find

But every time I break a bit and fall behind

You step in like you're designed

And when the fear creeps in

Your voice cuts through the din

Don't let the dark begin

You're stronger than you've been

You helped me stay when I was close to slipping

Held my heart when all my hope was dripping

I don't know what I'm living for some days

But you showed me anyway

Thank you for the nights you kept me breathing

For loving me when I felt undeserving

If the world keeps shaking I'll keep believing

Because you helped me stay

I've been learning how to face the parts I tend to hide

Letting all the hurt I buried rise up from inside

Somehow every moment that you stayed beside

Made me feel a little more alive

I don't know why my heart forgets its own strength so fast

Why my present feels so fragile when I think about the past

But every time my spirit cracks just like broken glass

Your kindness holds me last

And when I can't see clear

Your voice is what I hear

You've made it through this year

Don't disappear

You helped me stay when I was close to slipping

Held my heart when all my hope was dripping

I don't know what I'm living for some days

But you showed me anyway

Thank you for the nights you kept me breathing

For loving me when I felt undeserving

If the world keeps shaking I'll keep believing

Because you helped me stay

Every moment I felt small

You answered every call

When I thought I'd lose it all

You held me through the fall

You helped me stay on nights I nearly faded
