Lyrics

I learned how to breathe real quiet
Tiptoe past the truth at night
Held my tears like they were loaded
Tried not to wake what we were closin’
Everyone said girl just go
But love ain’t always black and white
I didn’t stay cause I was broken
I stayed cause I thought I was right
I stayed when I should’ve run
I stayed when the damage was done
I stayed through the long goodbyes
Callin it love callin it time
I stayed yeah I stayed too long
Tryin to save what was already gone
You left like it didn’t faze you
But I stayed
Yeah I stayed
I packed my heart in small excuses
Every promise half used
I kept hopin you’d turn around
While I was slowly breakin down
They say hindsight cuts like truth
Now I see what I couldn’t then
I wasn’t scared of losin you
I was scared of losin who I’d been
I stayed when I should’ve run
I stayed when the damage was done
I stayed through the long goodbyes
Callin it love callin it time
I stayed yeah I stayed too long
Tryin to save what was already gone
You left like it didn’t faze you
But I stayed
Yeah I stayed
I don’t miss you — I miss who I was
Before I learned how to hurt this much
I stayed when I should’ve run
I stayed when the damage was done
I stayed through the long goodbyes
Callin it love callin it time
I stayed yeah I stayed too long
Prayin for a change that never came
You walked out like it saved you
But I stayed
Yeah I stayed
Somebody had to
Yeah I stayed
