Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
I kept your jacket in the closet
The collar still remembers your cologne
Watched the season turn the window colder
And I never called you home
[Pre-Chorus]
You were patient
I was distant
You were certain
I was drifting
[Chorus]
Let me be the one who stayed
Let me be the one who stayed
I was young and I was wrong
You were steady all along
[Drop]
Let me be the one who stayed
Let me be the one who stayed
[Verse 2]
Painted over all the marks we made
Every crack along the plaster wall
Told myself that I was fine without you
But I still hear your footsteps in the hall
[Pre-Chorus]
You were patient
I was distant
You were certain
I was drifting
[Chorus]
Let me be the one who stayed
Let me be the one who stayed
I was young and I was wrong
You were steady all along
[Bridge]
Slow down
Slow down
Tell me how to reach you now
Slow down
Slow down
Show me how to reach you now
[Chorus]
Let me be the one who stayed
Let me be the one who stayed
I was young and I was wrong
You were steady all along
[Drop]
Let me be the one who stayed
Let me be the one who stayed
Let me be
Let me be
Let me be the one who stayed
