stay when I shake.

I'm not easy when the walls cave in I go quiet, then I overthink

I push away, then I pull you close Like I'm scared of losing what I need the most

I've seen love leave when it gets real So I brace myself for the moment you will

But you stay when I shake, when my hands don't feel safe

When my heart's second guesses every word I say

You don't run, you don't break, you don't ask me to change

You just hold me together when I come undone that way

I've been taught that calm never lasts So I wait for the other half

Every smile feels borrowed time Like pieces just standing in line

I keep checking for exits I don't need You're still here, still choosing me

Yeah, you stay when I shake, when my faith starts to fade

When my head turns love into a fight

You don't flinch, you don't blame, you don't make me explain

You just stay through the worst of my nights If you ever walk away, I'll understand why

But right now you're the reason I don't say goodbye

So stay when I shake, if I bend, if I break

If my fear gets louder than my truth

I don't need saving

I just need you
