Reason to Stay

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The tears fall freely; I can barely see,
This fear’s a weight that’s breaking me.
A million thoughts race, tangled and wild,
But one keeps screaming, cold and vile:
“What if this is it? What if I lose you?”
The thought alone is a wound I can’t undo.

(Pre-Chorus)
You say you’re a burden, that I’ll tire someday,
But you’re my strength, my breath, my way.
If you could see yourself through my eyes,
You’d know you’re the only thing keeping me alive.

(Chorus)
You’re my heaven on earth, my light in the dark,
The reason I breathe, the fire in my heart.
Without you, there’s no living, just a world turned gray,
A pain I can’t bear, a love I can’t replace.
So I fight for you, for us, for the love we’ve made,
Begging you to hold on—you’re my reason to stay.

(Verse 2)
The acronyms haunt me—EKG, EEG, ICU,
Three letters of terror that all lead to you.
Every scan, every test, a new fight to endure,
And still, you ask me, “Are you sure?”
As if loving you could ever be a cost,
When the thought of losing you leaves me lost.

(Pre-Chorus)
I plead with God, I bargain and pray,
“Don’t let losing her be part of my way.
She’s my anchor, my safe, my only song,
Don’t take her; she’s where I belong.”

(Chorus)
You’re my heaven on earth, my light in the dark,
The reason I breathe, the fire in my heart.
Without you, there’s no living, just a world turned gray,
A pain I can’t bear, a love I can’t replace.
So I fight for you, for us, for the love we’ve made,
Begging you to hold on—you’re my reason to stay.

(Bridge)
Every fear you’ve felt, I’ve felt it too,
But my fear isn’t living—it’s a life without you.
Every heartbeat of yours is the rhythm I need,
You’re the air in my lungs, my every heartbeat.
If my purpose is pain, then I’ll gladly endure,
As long as your love remains my cure.

(Chorus)
You’re my heaven on earth, my light in the dark,
The reason I breathe, the fire in my heart.
Without you, there’s no living, just a world turned gray,
A pain I can’t bear, a love I can’t replace.
So I fight for you, for us, for the love we’ve made,
Begging you to hold on—you’re my reason to stay.

(Outro)
Stay with me through every storm, every tide,
I’ll hold you forever, no need to hide.
A love like ours, rare and divine,
I’ll keep fighting, my heart’s forever entwined.
You’re my everything, my purpose, my way,
You’re my forever, my reason to stay.
