Here to stay 1

Letra

Verse 1 I know you’ve learned to watch the door When somebody says they’re staying You’ve heard forever once before From someone who was only playing You’ve watched the people that you loved Turn promises into goodbye So when I tell you I’m not leaving I know it’s hard to trust sometimes But I’m not asking you to forget Everything you’ve been through I’m just asking you to look at me And see what I’ve shown you Pre-Chorus I’m not the one who broke your trust I’m not the one who walked away You don’t have to brace yourself with me I’m here to stay Chorus The rug ain’t getting pulled from beneath you I’m not gonna disappear someday You don’t have to wake up wondering If my love has changed I’m not here to build you up Just to watch your whole world break So put your hand in mine, believe me I’m here to stay I’m here to stay Verse 2 I know somebody lied before me Even made you think that he was gone I know people that you counted on Have turned around and done you wrong And maybe that’s why when I love you There’s still a part of you that waits For the moment I become like them And everything just falls away But baby, if I meant to hurt you I would’ve done it long ago I wouldn’t give my all to us Just to throw away what we’ve grown Pre-Chorus I can’t erase what they have done But I can show you every day I’m not another temporary love I’m here to stay Chorus The rug ain’t getting pulled from beneath you I’m not gonna disappear someday You don’t have to wake up wondering If my love has changed I’m not here to build you up Just to watch your whole world break So put your hand in mine, believe me I’m here to stay Verse 3 But lately I can feel the distance And I know you feel it too Every doubt puts space between us And I start pulling backward too Not because I love you any less Not because I want to leave But everybody has a breaking point Even hearts that still believe There’s no “us” if there’s no trust I can’t be the only one who tries You either want this road together Or you don’t—and that’s your right But as long as you still want me I’ll keep choosing you each day Just don’t push me toward the ending While I’m begging us to stay Bridge Skye, I’m not asking for perfection I’m asking you to see The man standing here before you Not the ones who made you bleed Don’t make me wear their mistakes Don’t make their shadows become mine I don’t want to spend forever Paying for somebody else’s lies Let me love you like I love you Not like you’re waiting for goodbye Let me be the one who finally shows you Love doesn’t always leave with time Final Chorus The rug ain’t getting pulled from beneath you I’m still standing where I’ve always been And when your mind says, “He’s gonna leave me” Don’t let those old fears win Because I’m not here to hurt you I’m not here to play that game I gave my heart because I meant it And that hasn’t changed But there’s no “us” without believing There’s no “we” if trust is gone So if you still want this forever Take my hand and hold on The rug ain’t getting pulled from beneath you You don’t have to live that way I’m still here I’m still trying I’m still choosing you today Outro And if our story ever ends I’ll never call our love a waste You became the most important person That ever found a place Inside my life, inside my heart In ways that time can’t take away But I’m not writing our last chapter I’m here to stay.
