Verse 1
I felt the urge to make it better,
To tie your pain into a bow,
Had a thousand ways to fix it
Before I heard you fully now.
But something in me settled down,
When I let go of turning it around.
Chorus
I don’t need to take your pain away,
Don’t need to make it fade,
I can sit right here with you
And let the feeling stay.
I won’t rush you through the door—
I’ll stay with you where you are.
Verse 2
I thought love meant solving things,
Finding words that heal the ache,
But love showed up when I stopped trying
To rescue you from what you face.
Your breath slowed, your shoulders dropped,
When I let the fixing stop.
Chorus
I don’t need to end your night,
Or drag you toward the light,
I can trust the way you move
When I don’t decide what’s right.
I don’t need to know the way—
I’ll stay with you today.
Bridge
Your pain doesn’t scare me now,
I don’t need it gone somehow,
I can let it be what it is,
And still not turn away.
Final Chorus
I don’t need to change a thing
For love to show its face,
Sometimes healing happens
When there’s nothing left to say.
I won’t fix, I won’t control—
I’ll meet you where you’re whole.
Outro
Not fixing.
Not leaving.
Just staying.
—
Just staying while it fades.
