the one who stays

Lyrics

🎸 The Ones Who Stay
Verse 1
Another night, another sleepless mind,
Trying to leave all my worries behind.
The room is dark, but my head's too loud,
I wish I could disappear into the crowd.

My dog's curled up beside my feet,
My cat's the only one who notices me.
They never ask me to explain,
They just stay through the sunshine and rain.

Pre-Chorus
I'm changing in ways I can't explain,
Some days sunshine, some days rain.

Chorus
When the lights go out and the stars disappear,
My dog and my cat are always here.
They've seen the tears I never show,
And all the sides I'll never let people know.
I don't need someone to save me tonight,
I've got two little souls that make everything right.

Verse 2
I'm sick of hearing what I should be,
Like everybody knows more than me.
I'm finding my way, making mistakes,
Trying to become someone I can embrace.

My dog's waiting when I walk through the door,
My cat's asleep like nothing matters anymore.
And somehow in this crazy life,
They're the only ones who make things feel right.

Bridge – SOFT THEN EXPLOSIVE
One day I'll leave these days behind,
But I'll remember the little things in time.
All the nights I thought I'd break,
All the memories nobody could take.

Final Chorus – POWERFUL
When the lights go out and the stars disappear,
My dog and my cat are always here.
They've seen the tears I never show,
And loved every side of me I've come to know.
Maybe I'm still finding my place,
Still learning how to fall into grace.
And even when I don't know where to start,
They're the ones who never leave my heart.

Outro – WHISPERED
The world's so loud, but here it's quiet,
No need for words, no need to hide it.
Through every version of who I'll be,
It's always been them beside me.
