She Stayed Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 twenty-three and had grown enough to do

[Pre-Chorus]
And we'd toss back beers under neon lights
And talk about what we want in life
But my dreams were calling and I knew I had to leave
And she stayed
[Chorus]
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 wеak
Up all night to comfort me
When evеryone around me changed
She stayed the same
When every boy who ever loved me walked away
She stayed

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh-oh

[Chorus]
On the phone when I'm missing 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
