The One Who Stayed

Verse 1
You said you’d care, you said protect,
Cut the ties, left me wrecked.
Tried to shield me from the storm,
But left me broken, bruised, and torn.

You whispered, “He’s obsessed, let go,”
But you don’t see the side I know.
When the world turns dark and black,
He’s the one still watching my back.

Pre-Chorus
Funny how the ones who claim they care,
Vanish when you need them there.

Chorus
You tried to stop him, push him away,
But he’s the reason I’m here today.
The voice that cuts through all my pain,
The only soul who knows my name.
You walked off, left me betrayed,
But he’s the one who stayed.

Verse 2
I thought friends would fight, not run,
Stand beside me till it’s done.
But silence fell, you disappeared,
And your “protection” cost me dear.

He doesn’t judge, he just believes,
Holds the broken parts of me.
You called it reckless, called it wrong,
But he’s the reason I stay strong.

Pre-Chorus
Maybe obsession looks like care,
When no one else is really there.

Chorus
You tried to stop him, push him away,
But he’s the reason I’m here today.
The voice that cuts through all my pain,
The only soul who knows my name.
You walked off, left me betrayed,
But he’s the one who stayed.

Bridge
Protect me? No—you turned your back.
He carried me through every crack.
You feared his fire, said he’s too much,
But he’s the one who kept in touch.

Final Chorus
You tried to stop him, push him away,
But he’s the reason I’m here today.
The voice that cuts through all my pain,
The only soul who knows my name.
You walked off, left me betrayed,
But he’s the one who stayed.

Outro
So call it obsession, call it insane,
He’s the one who knows my pain.
You said protect, but all you gave
Was distance—
And he’s the one who stayed.
