Stay

If you're hearing this right now
I don't know your story
But I know you matter
And I know the world's better with you in it
So stay

When the darkness comes and it feels too much
When the weight on your chest wanna make you give up
Just stay, just stay, yeah, hold that line
You're a fighter in the war they can't win

Your mind gets loud and the nights get cold
When the memories burn and the hurt takes hold
Just stay, just stay, don't fade away
You're alive, you're enough, you gon' see that day

I know what it's like tryna quiet your head
When the flashbacks hit and you can't forget
All the battles you fought that nobody saw
All the tears that you had when you stand so tall

Yeah, PTSD got you stuck in the fight
And the world don't see why you can't sleep at night
But you're here right now, that's proof of your worth
You survived every hell that they couldn't unearth

I've been right at the edge, thinking what's the use
With the battle in hand, tryna numb that truth
But the pain don't mean that you can't still heal
You a story in the making and your life so real

So if you're sitting in the dark, feeling all alone
Put your hand on your heart, feel that beat in your bones
That's a sign you're alive, that's a spark they can't take
You a warrior in the fire, you a built man

When the darkness comes and it feels too much
When the weight on your chest wanna make you give up
Just stay, just stay, yeah, hold that line
You're a fighter in a war they can't win

When your mind gets loud and the nights get cold
When the memories burn and the hurt takes hold
Just stay, just stay, don't fade away
You're alive, you're enough, you're gon' see that day

I know the shame in your chest feel heavy as stone
When you smile on the surface but you break alone
When the world say move on like it's easy to do
But the scars in your mind still bleed so true

If you lost somebody, and it cut so deep (cut so deep)
If the guilt in your head, don't let you sleep (let you sleep)
Just breathe one time, take it slow, don't hide
You're allowed to feel pain, you're allowed to cry

You ain't weak 'cause you hurt, you ain't broke 'cause you bend
You a soul that keeps fighting when it don't make sense
So don't quit on yourself, you're a light in the night
You gon' find your peace, you gon' win this fight

Oh, you're not alone
You're not alone
Or stronger than you ever know

When the darkness comes and it feels too much
When the weight on your chest wanna make you give up
Just stay, just stay, yeah, hold that line
You're a fighter in the war they can't win

When your mind gets loud and the nights get cold
When the memories burn and the hurt takes hold
Just stay, just stay, don't fade away
You're alive, you're enough, you're gon' see that day

If nobody told you today
I'm glad you're still here
Keep going
You matter
Stay
