Im right here

Lyrics

I won't pretend I was perfect back then
I played a game I never should have started
Got caught up, let my ego win
Left you alone and broken-hearted

I looked in your eyes and I owned every lie
Said "Never again" and I meant every word
That was the moment I chose to rise
Left the boy behind and became who you deserved

It all down at your feet
Brought you my shadows, my soul, my shame
A man don't break open for just anyone
Darling, I bled when I called out your name

I'm living proof that people change
I'm not the ghost you remember from yesterday
I've shown you the cracks, I've shown you the scars
A weak man hides them - I handed you my heart
So why are we still fighting a ghost on the wall
Of a man I buried, a man who's gone for good
Baby I'm right here, standing after all
Loving you the way I always wished I could
I'm right here
I'm right here

I see you scrolling late at night again
Looking for something that isn't there to find
I know your wounds run deeper than my sin
A man before me was the one who wrecked your mind
I understand the fire behind your eyes
I know the past don't always let you breathe
But every time you search for another sign
You're missing all the proof already right in front of you - it's me

you a promise and I kept every word
I gave you the parts of me no one has ever heard
A man with one foot out the door don't bleed this deep
Baby, I'm not leaving - I'm yours to keep

I'm living proof that people change
I'm not the ghost you remember from yesterday
I've shown you the cracks, I've shown you the scars
A weak man hides them - I handed you my heart
So why are we still fighting a ghost on the wall
Of a man I buried, a man who's gone for good
Baby I'm right here, standing after all
Loving you the way I always wished I could
I'm right here
I'm right here

I'm not asking you to forget the fire
I'm asking you to see who's standing here right now
Not the man who took you down into the mire
Not who I was - but who I am and how
I'm the one who stayed, the one who told you true
Even when the truth was heavy, even when it hurt
I showed you every scar and broken piece I knew
Said "This is all of me - I'm done hiding in the dirt"
I know what came before me left you hollow
I know they turned your love into a loaded gun
And I know how hard it is for you to follow
A heart that's been betrayed by everyone
But baby - I'm not them
I never was
Look at me standing here
Still yours
Just because

I'm living proof that love can change
I'll be your safe place every single day
I'll show you the cracks, I'll show you the stars
We're both a little broken - that's the beauty of our hearts
Let's stop fighting shadows on the wall
And just be happy, like we always knew we could
Baby, stay right here
Stay right here

Someday you'll wake up and the fear will be gone
Someday you'll reach for me and just feel home
I'll be right here - I'm not going anywhere
Someday, baby
Someday A proof, yes.
