15 Ways Scars & Staying

Title: “15 Ways (Scars & Staying)” (Intro) Yeah… this one real… No fairytales… just love and damage… Tryna hold on… (Verse 1) Bills on the table, rent due, lights flickerin’ Stress got us distant, now we barely even listenin’ You say I changed, I say you don’t understand Both workin’ long hours, barely touchin’ hands Phones in our faces, silence in the room Same bed, different worlds, love feelin’ doomed You cry in the bathroom, I sit on the couch Both too stubborn just to let it all out I said “it’s okay”… but I was really hurt You said “I’m fine”… but your voice got worse Now we walkin’ on eggshells, scared to speak truth But lies break faster than an honest bruise (Hook) We got 15 ways, but we losin’ grip Tryna hold love tight while it slowly slip Through the pain and the fights, yeah we both done cried But I still see forever when I look in your eyes Don’t lie… don’t hide… don’t let it all break Say sorry and mean it for our own sake Through the scars and the stress, we still hold tight Ain’t perfect love… but it’s real life (Verse 2) You bring up the past every time we clash Old wounds never healed, just covered in ash I don’t wanna hear ‘bout who you used to love I’m right here fightin’, tryin’ to be enough Jealousy creepin’, trust gettin’ thin One wrong move, now we questionin’ again You checkin’ my phone, I’m checkin’ your tone Turnin’ small doubts into a war zone We both said things that we can’t take back Words hit harder than a physical crack But we don’t fix it, let the days go by Now the distance growin’ while we both ask why (Hook) We got 15 ways, but we losin’ grip Tryna hold love tight while it slowly slip Through the pain and the fights, yeah we both done cried But I still see forever when I look in your eyes Don’t lie… don’t hide… don’t let it all break Say sorry and mean it for our own sake Through the scars and the stress, we still hold tight Ain’t perfect love… but it’s real life (Bridge) Ego too loud, we forget how to care Talkin’ just to win, not to meet halfway there You feel unheard, I feel alone Two broken hearts in a “happy” home But when you break down, I still hold you close Even at our worst, I don’t let you go ‘Cause deep down I know, under all this pain We still got love… we just lost our way (Verse 3) So let’s start again, no lies this time Speak from the soul, not hurt or pride If I say “sorry,” I mean every word And I’ll listen close when your voice need heard No more waitin’ days to fix what’s wrong We either heal together or we both move on I ain’t lookin’ back, no ex, no past If we do this right, we could really last You ain’t perfect… yeah neither am I But I’ll fight for us ‘til the day we die Outta all the chaos, all the hurt we knew… I still believe… I’m meant for you (Outro) Love ain’t just smiles… it’s tears, it’s war… But if we both try… it could be more… 15 ways… just to make it through… And I’ll keep tryin’… if you do too. ❤️
