She Stayed
Wish I could tell you that I met her back in grade school
'Cause a couple extra years would have been cool
But we met slinging drinks at a dive bar down on Central Street
When I was 23 and had growing up to do
And we'd toss back beers under neon lights
And talk about what we want in life
But my dreams were callin', and I knew I had to leave
And she stayed
On the phone when I'm missing home
In the front row of my shows
Singing every word to every song I wrote
She stayed strong when I was weak
Up all night to comfort me
When everyone around me changed, she stayed the same
When every boy who ever loved me walked away, she stayed
She zipped up my dress, put on my shoes
Stood next to me when I said "I do", that summer day in 2022
We all raised a glass and she gave a speech
Full of drunken stories of a younger me
And we never knew that night would end so soon
But when my fairy tale went up in smoke
I packed the only life I've known
And I told her I'm afraid to be alone
She stayed
On the phone when I'm missing home
In the front row of my shows
Singing every word to every song I wrote
She stayed strong when I was weak
Up all night to comfort me
When everyone around me changed, she stayed the same
When every boy who ever loved me walked away
She stayed, she stayed
Everyone enters your life for a reason
Some change with the seasons, blow away with the wind
I looked around when the leaves turned
When I thought every bridge burned
She pulled me out the rubble again
My best friend, she stayed
She stayed, oh-whoa, oh
On the phone when I'm missin' home
In the front row of my shows
Singing every word to every song I wrote
Strong when I was weak, up all night to comfort me
When everyone around me changed, she stayed the same
When every boy who ever loved me walked away
Oh, I thank the good Lord every single day, she stayed
'Cause a couple extra years would have been cool
But we met slinging drinks at a dive bar down on Central Street
When I was 23 and had growing up to do
And we'd toss back beers under neon lights
And talk about what we want in life
But my dreams were callin', and I knew I had to leave
And she stayed
On the phone when I'm missing home
In the front row of my shows
Singing every word to every song I wrote
She stayed strong when I was weak
Up all night to comfort me
When everyone around me changed, she stayed the same
When every boy who ever loved me walked away, she stayed
She zipped up my dress, put on my shoes
Stood next to me when I said "I do", that summer day in 2022
We all raised a glass and she gave a speech
Full of drunken stories of a younger me
And we never knew that night would end so soon
But when my fairy tale went up in smoke
I packed the only life I've known
And I told her I'm afraid to be alone
She stayed
On the phone when I'm missing home
In the front row of my shows
Singing every word to every song I wrote
She stayed strong when I was weak
Up all night to comfort me
When everyone around me changed, she stayed the same
When every boy who ever loved me walked away
She stayed, she stayed
Everyone enters your life for a reason
Some change with the seasons, blow away with the wind
I looked around when the leaves turned
When I thought every bridge burned
She pulled me out the rubble again
My best friend, she stayed
She stayed, oh-whoa, oh
On the phone when I'm missin' home
In the front row of my shows
Singing every word to every song I wrote
Strong when I was weak, up all night to comfort me
When everyone around me changed, she stayed the same
When every boy who ever loved me walked away
Oh, I thank the good Lord every single day, she stayed
