[Intro]
Softly I whisper, hoping you can hear
A quiet heartbeat drawn near
[Verse 1]
If I could turn the clock, I’d pause the rain
Tell you every bruise was worth the pain
I’m knelt by the doorway of your doubt and fear
Calling your name, hoping you’ll appear
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me mend what I have broken
Let me prove I’m more than chosen
[Chorus]
I’m pleading, stay a little longer, stay
I’m reaching through the silence, don’t fade away
If you walk away today, I’ll follow and say
Forgive me, I’m still here, I’m begging you to stay
[Verse 2]
I collected promises like stars in the night
Wiped your tears with apologies until they felt light
I’m tangled in the memory of every “maybe” you said
Hoping your footsteps will rest by my bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me mend what I have broken
Let me prove I’m more than chosen
[Chorus]
I’m pleading, stay a little longer, stay
I’m reaching through the silence, don’t fade away
If you walk away today, I’ll follow and say
Forgive me, I’m still here, I’m begging you to stay
[Bridge]
If you find a path to forgive, I’ll walk it slow with you
If you find a way to trust again, I’ll prove it true
[Chorus]
I’m pleading, stay a little longer, stay
I’m reaching through the silence, don’t fade away
If you walk away today, I’ll follow and say
Forgive me, I’m still here, I’m begging you to stay
[Outro]
Stay, stay, stay, I’m here to stay
Stay, stay, don’t fade away
