Build me up just to tear me back down

Still the only thing I need now

A not so picture perfect moment I've found

In the pieces that cannot last, in your future and in your past

I'm not the one who's selfless

I am the one who's vain

I'm not the one who's willing

To throw this all away

I'll be your stormless shelter

On all of your rainy days

I'm not the one who's leaving

I'll be the one who stays with you

All the reasons and memories

So much better than I could be

Forced between this and faced with you

There's no question to what I'd do

I'm not the one who's selfless

I am the one who's vain

I'm not the one who's willing

To throw this all away

I'll be your stormless shelter

On all of your rainy days

I'm not the one who's leaving

I'll be the one who stays here

You, just for you

I can't do what I should

And I can't take it back

I would not if I could

And for you, just for you

I can't do what I should

And I can't take it back

I would not if I could

And for you, just for you

I can't do what I should

And I can't take it back

I would not if I could

I'm not the one who's selfless

I am the one who's vain

I'm not the one who's willing

To throw this all away

I'll be your stormless shelter

When all but the price is paid

I'm not the one who's leaving

I'll be the one who stays here

Who stays here
