Something in the way she stays  
Without needing me to say it  
Something in the quiet days  
She makes them feel like something more  
And I don’t know how she knows
Somewhere in her tired eyes  
There’s a calm that keeps me steady  
Even when I don’t feel right  
She never has to ask  
She just brings me back
If you ask me why I’m still in love  
I don’t know  
I just know  
If she’s near me long enough  
It will show  
I don’t know
Something in the way she breathes  
Like the world ain’t ever broken  
Something in her not needing me  
That makes me want to stay  
Every single day

Something In The Way She Stays
