[Verse 1]
I wouldn’t be here if not for you
I’d probably still be running
Still be breaking things
Still pushing people away just to feel in control
Still pretending nothing ever gets to me

[Verse 2]
You didn’t fix me
And I know you weren’t trying
You just saw something I couldn’t
You stayed when you could’ve left
And maybe that’s what changed everything

[Pre-Chorus]
I was a mess on repeat
You didn’t clean it up, you just sat with me
And that meant more than you'll ever know

[Chorus]
IF IT WASN'T YOU
I’d still be stuck on the edge
Still afraid to say what I feel
Still hiding behind all the noise in my head
But you made it quiet
You made it real
And I don’t even think you knew
What you were doing
IF IT WASN'T YOU

[Spoken Interlude]
There was a night…
I was just driving, nowhere to go, nothing to prove
And your voice came through the speakers
Not even talking to me — just laughing
And somehow, I started breathing again
That was the moment I knew...
You saved me without even trying

[Verse 3]
I still mess up, I still spiral sometimes
But now I hear your voice telling me to breathe
Telling me I’m not too far gone
That maybe I'm still worth something

[Bridge]
You didn’t hold my hand through every fire
You just showed me how to walk through it
You didn’t carry me — you reminded me
I could stand

[Chorus]
IF IT WASN'T YOU
I’d still be pretending I don’t care
Still ghosting every good thing
Still scared of someone who’d actually stay
But you stayed anyway
And I started to believe
Maybe I could too
IF IT WASN'T YOU

[Outro]
I’m not perfect now
But I’m not who I once was
And that’s because of you
Just thought you should know
If not for you...
I'd never even try
IF IT WASN'T YOU
