Intro (Soft & Intimate)

(Soft piano only, almost whispered)

I know you’re tired of hearing promises

That only fade away

But I’m not here to fix you

I’m just here to stay

Verse 1

You’re staring at the ceiling like it’s gonna answer back

Tears falling quiet, running down the cracks

You say love’s just a word that only lets you down

But I see your heart beating through the sound

Pre-Chorus

You built your walls so high,

Brick by brick from all those goodbyes

But I’m not leaving when it gets hard

I’m right here in the dark

Chorus

So let me hold you through it

When the memories cut like knives

Let me show you what love is

Not the kind that says goodbye

I know he left you broken

But I won’t let you fall apart

If you let me stay tonight

I’ll be your true love in the dark

Verse 2

You flinch when I reach for your hand

Like you’re waiting for me to slip through the sand

But I’m not him, I won’t walk away

I’m here for the long run, here to stay

Pre-Chorus

You say forever’s just a lie

Something people say before they hide

But I’m not scared of your scars

They’re the bravest parts of who you are

Chorus

So let me hold you through it

When the memories cut like knives

Let me show you what love is

Not the kind that says goodbye

I know he left you broken

But I won’t let you fall apart

If you let me stay tonight

I’ll be your true love in the dark

Bridge (big emotional build)

You don’t have to fix yourself for me

You don’t have to hide your tears

I’ll sit with every shattered piece

And love you through your fears

Final Chorus (stripped then powerful)

Let me hold you through it

When you feel like giving up

I’ll be steady as the morning

When the night’s been far too much

You say love just leaves you lonely

But I swear I’ll prove it’s not

If you let me stay forever

I’ll give you all the love he forgot

Outro (Stripped & Gentle)

(Music drops back to soft piano)

You don’t have to be unbroken

You don’t have to hide your scars

If love ever let you down before

I’ll love you as you are

(Soft vocal hum… piano fades out slowly)
