Verse 1
I wake up early in the quiet of the dawn
The shadows whisper where your memory lives on
I don’t own much, I don’t have grand dreams
Just these hands, these scars, and my own misgivings

I try not to wonder why you didn’t leave
When I trip and stumble, when I don’t believe
I’m not perfect — far from a golden man
So tell me, why do you still take my hand?

Pre-Chorus
I know I’ve hurt you, I know I let you down
But you stayed through the storms when I was drowning

Chorus
(Why you stay?) When I’m broken and unkind
You fold your heart around mine
(Why you stay?) When I’m lost, when I stray
You find me anyway
I’m no hero, I’m no angel in disguise
But still here in your love’s light
(Why you stay?)

Verse 2
Sometimes I catch your face as you sleep so still
The rise and fall of your chest, the gentle will
I think of all the days I said I’d change
But I’m stuck in old patterns, haunted by my ways

You say I’m enough even when I can’t see
You lift me up even when I let me be
I don’t deserve you — I know that’s true
Still you whisper hope when I can’t break through

Pre-Chorus
I carry fears you wouldn’t understand
Yet here you are, still holding my hand

Chorus
(Why you stay?) When I’m broken and unkind
You fold your heart around mine
(Why you stay?) When I’m lost, when I stray
You find me anyway
I’m no hero, I’m no angel in disguise
But still here in your love’s light
(Why you stay?)

Bridge
If I could give you the stars, I would arrange the sky
But all I have is this heart, truth in every line
So take these fragile words when I say your name
I’ll spend my life learning how you chose to stay

Chorus (repeat / lift)
(Why you stay?) When I’m broken and unkind
You fold your heart around mine
(Why you stay?) When I’m lost, when I stray
You find me anyway
I’m no hero, I’m no angel in disguise
But still here in your love’s light
(Why you stay?)

Outro
Why you stay (why you stay)
Still here in your love’s light
Why you stay
