'Cause everybody else eventually did
So now, you flinch when love gets close
Build your walls before it shows
But baby, I see right through the fear
And I'm still standing here
I know your heart has been at war
But you don't have to fight anymore
Even on the nights you hate yourself
I'll stay anyway
When your tears fall like rain at midnight
I won't look away
And even when your world feels broken
And your hope begins to fade
I will sit inside the dark with you
Until the light finds your face
You don't have to be perfect
You don't have to pretend
You don't have to carry all this pain
Like it's yours until the end
So when you think you're too much to love
Too damaged to be saved
Look into my arms, my love
I'll stay anyway
I know you learned to silence every need
'Cause asking hurt too deeply
And now your heart beats carefully
Like love's another emergency
But I don't wanna love the version
That has to keep me calm
I wanna know every shattered part
You think is hard to hold
And if your past comes back to haunt you
If old wounds re-open slow
I won't punish you for healing
I'll just hold you close
You survive things you don't talk about
That's why your soul's exhausted now
Even on the nights you hate yourself
I'll stay anyway
When your tears fall like rain at midnight
I won't look away
And even when your world feels broken
And your hope begins to fade
I will sit inside the dark with you
Until the light finds your face
You don't have to be perfect
You don't have to pretend
You don't have to carry all this pain
Like it's yours until the end
So when you think you're too much to love
Too damaged to be saved
Look into my arms, my love
I'll stay anyway
