I stayed for every version of you

[Verse 1]

You were chaos once, a wildfire laugh

Dancing barefoot down every wrong path

Then you turned quiet, then you turned cold

Then you turned into stories I still hold

[Verse 2]

I’ve loved the dreamer, the fighter, the ghost

The one who ran, and the one who got close

You said, “I’ve changed,” like it might scare me off

But loving you’s not something I turn on or off

[Pre-Chorus]

When you changed, did you think I’d run

Or fear I’d miss who you’d become

[Chorus]

I stayed for every version of you

The wild, the wrecked, the kind, the new

Not just the best days, not just the light

I held your hand through every fight

Love doesn’t ask that you remain the same

Not who you were, but who you became

You don’t owe me who you were back then

I’d stay for every single version again

[Verse 3]

I stayed for every version of you

Not just the one the world clung to

You never had to stay the same

You kept the heart, I loved the flame

[Verse 4]

I stayed through every storm and bloom

When you were wildfire, when you were gloom

You broke, rebuilt, and still I knew—

I’d always stay for every you

[Pre-Chorus]

Do I love the core or just the shell

Would I stay through heaven and through hell

[Chorus]

I stayed for every version of you

The wild, the wrecked, the kind, the new

Not just the best days, not just the light

I held your hand through every fight

Love doesn’t ask that you remain the same

Not who you were, but who you became

You don’t owe me who you were back then

I’d stay for every single version again

[Verse 5]

You were never just one frame

You changed the script, you changed the name

And every version, brave or blue

I stayed—because I saw all of you

[Verse 6]

I stayed when you let go of old skin

When you lost the war you thought you’d win

Your changes never felt untrue

Each version just more deeply you

[Pre-Chorus]

What if love means letting go

Of who we were and used to know

[Chorus]

I stayed for every version of you

The wild, the wrecked, the kind, the new

Not just the best days, not just the light

I held your hand through every fight

Love doesn’t ask that you remain the same

Not who you were, but who you became

You don’t owe me who you were back then

I’d stay for every single version again

[Verse 7]

But I never loved just one fixed face

I loved your silence, I loved your grace

I loved your rage and quiet too—

I stayed through every shade of you

[Verse 8]

But I held on through each new skin

Through every “end” and “start again”

You’re not the same, and neither am I—

But I never once said goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]

Did you worry love was tied to time

To who you were when we were fine

[Chorus]

I stayed for every version of you

The wild, the wrecked, the kind, the new

Not just the best days, not just the light

I held your hand through every fight

Love doesn’t ask that you remain the same

Not who you were, but who you became

You don’t owe me who you were back then

I’d stay for every single version again

[Verse 9]

I stayed for every version passed

For every first that didn’t last

You changed the way a sky turns hue—

And I changed right along with you

[Verse 10]

I stayed when you outgrew your skin

When chapters closed and new ones began

You didn’t have to prove what’s true—

I stayed for every shade of you

[Pre-Chorus]

Was I supposed to grieve who you became

Or love you like the same old flame

[Chorus]

I stayed for every version of you

The wild, the wrecked, the kind, the new

Not just the best days, not just the light

I held your hand through every fight

Love doesn’t ask that you remain the same

Not who you were, but who you became

You don’t owe me who you were back then

I’d stay for every single version again

[Verse 11]

I learned the rhythm of your shift

I caught the pieces that you missed

Each time you changed, I found you new

I stayed for all, not just one you

[Verse 12]

You changed your hair, your soul, your mind

And still, I never fell behind

Each version drew me closer in—

Not who you were, but who you’ve been

[Pre-Chorus]

If love’s a vow to what won’t fade,

What happens when we’ve both been remade

[Chorus]

I stayed for every version of you

The wild, the wrecked, the kind, the new

Not just the best days, not just the light

I held your hand through every fight

Love doesn’t ask that you remain the same

Not who you were, but who you became

You don’t owe me who you were back then

I’d stay for every single version again

[Bridge]

You’ve been thunder, you’ve been rain

You’ve been joy wrapped up in pain

But through every shape you moved through

There was still some part that knew me too

[Final Chorus]

I stayed for every version of you

The wild, the wrecked, the kind, the new

Not just the best days, not just the light

I held your hand through every fight

Love doesn’t ask that you remain the same

Not who you were, but who you became

You don’t owe me who you were back then

I’d stay for every single version again
