I Stay

You say you’re tired I bring you coffee anyway Laugh at your silence Like it’s something you just meant to say You shut the door I’m on the other side, still there Tracing the paint chips Calling it love, calling it care For me, my biggest red flag? I stay I stay, I stay I love too deep, even when it breaks me Even when it scrapes me to the bone I stay until there’s nothing left Nothing left for me to ruin I stay, I stay I don’t know how to go home You change the rules I nod my head like that’s alright Move all my boundaries Just to keep you through the night I swallow hurt Pretend the lump is just a joke Turn every warning To another prayer I never spoke For me, my biggest red flag? I stay I stay, I stay I love too deep, even when it breaks me Even when it scrapes me to the bone I stay until there’s nothing left Nothing left for me to ruin I stay, I stay I don’t know how to go home I call it loyal, you call it easy I call it holy, you call it needy (oh) How do I walk when my knees only know How to crawl back to your door? For me, my biggest red flag? I stay I stay, I stay I love too deep, even when it breaks me Even when it scrapes me to the bone I stay until there’s nothing left Nothing left for me to ruin I stay, I stay I stay until I’m gone
