Lyrics

Everybody talks about leaving
Like its some kind of release
Says you gotta save yourself
Before the weight pulls you beneath
I watched men fold in silence
Watched good vows go thin
Watched doors close real easy
When staying cost more than leaving did
I didn't stay cause I was fearless
I didn't stay cause I was brave
I just saw what walking away does
And what it takes
I stayed
When the nights wouldn't bend
When the truth got heavy
And the light gave in
I stayed
Didn't make it clean
Didn't make it proud
But I made it mean
Let 'em walk for easier days
I didn't stay cause it was easy
I stayed
Some mornings felt like losing
Before my boots hit the floor
Same four walls staring back
Asking what I'm still here for
I paid in quiet hours
In things I couldn't say
Learned how to carry weight
That don't go away
I didn't stay to be forgiven
I didn't stay to be seen
Some things don't get lighter
You just learn what they mean
I stayed
When the road got narrow
When the crowd thinned out too
I stayed
With my hands still bare
Didn't win a damn thing
But I was still there
Let 'em trade their scars for space
I didn't stay cause it was easy
I stayed
Staying wasn't noble
It just wasn't leaving
I stayed
When the fire burned low
When the only thing left
Was to stand and know
I stayed
Not asking to be saved
No victory song
No brighter day
I didn't stay cause it was easy
I stayed
I stayed
