Thank You For Staying

Verse 1
I know it wasn’t easy to remain,
When loving me meant sitting in the pain.
I was distant, I was breaking down,
Trying to hold it all while I was coming undone.
You saw the cracks I tried to hide,
Heard the silence I couldn’t justify.
Every reason you could’ve walked away…
But you didn’t.
Pre-Chorus
When I had nothing left to say,
You still chose to stay.
Chorus
So thank you for staying
When I was hard to believe in.
Thank you for holding
The hope I was losing.
When my faith was shaking,
And my heart was caving in,
You stayed…
And somehow that taught me
How to breathe again.
Verse 2
I know my fear made walls of stone,
I pushed you back so I wouldn’t feel alone.
I kept waiting for you to leave,
Like everyone else who promised me.
But you sat with me in the ache,
Didn’t rush the healing, didn’t need me fixed.
You believed when I couldn’t see
That I was more than this moment.
Pre-Chorus
When the night felt endless and long,
You stayed strong.
Chorus
Thank you for staying
When I was hard to love.
Thank you for seeing
What I’d given up.
When my voice was quiet,
And my prayers felt thin,
You stayed…
And your faith carried mine
When I couldn’t hold it in.
Bridge
I don’t know how you knew
The light would find its way through.
I don’t know why you stayed so kind
When I was losing my mind.
But every scar that still remains
Is softer knowing you stayed.
Breakdown (whisper / spoken)
You didn’t fix me.
You didn’t save me.
You just stayed…
And that changed everything.
Final Chorus
So thank you for staying
When believing felt like pain.
Thank you for trusting
What you couldn’t yet explain.
If love is patience,
If love is choosing again,
You stayed…
And I’ll never forget
What that meant.
Outro
If I ever find the words someday,
I’ll still start the same way…
Thank you…
For staying.
