A reason to stay -song

verse 1

I keep the kitchen light on, just to see the shape of you

Messages from yesterday ,things we said that weren’t true

You left the note on the counter, folded like some fragile news

I learned the art of quiet spaces where echoes sit with you

Pre chorus

And I hold my breathe

Wait for rain to wash the truth

The clock keeps it’s own rhythm

And all the walls hold the truth

Chorus

We’re all just looking for a reason to stay

A little more love, a little less afraid

Trying to find the words when silence takes the stage

We break, we bend, we learn to be okay

To be okay

Verse 2

There’s a sweater in the hallway, it reminds me of you

Your playlist plays the song we used to dance to

I scroll through constellations of the promises we made

I count the little might have been that never learned to change

Pre chorus

And I practice every sorry I’ll never get to say

Fold it into paper planes, and watch them drift away

Chorus

We’re all just looking for a reason to stay

A little more love, a little less afraid

Trying to find the words when silence takes the stage

We break, we bend, we learn to be okay

Bridge

If you wake tonight and wonder if your worth the fight

Know the moon keeps all our secrets

Stories written on our skin

Scars aren’t tattoos cuz they’re permanent

They map the places we were lonely

And the places we begin

Maybe its forgiveness

Maybe it’s just time

Maybe it’s the small kind gestures that make fractured things align

Final chorus

We’re all just looking for a reason to stay

A little more love, a little less afraid

Trying to find the words when silence takes the stage

We break, we bend, we learn to be okay

Outro

So leave the kitchen light on

I’ll learn how to stay

We’ll write our names in margins

Give the future one more page

We break, we mend, we try again, together or the other way
