Nightelves - I Stay Myself

Lyrics: I keep my chair by the door I know the look in your eyes You smile like a kitchen knife Wrapped up in polite goodbyes I watch the room from the edge Count every hand that moves Some people wear their hunger Like it’s the only truth I hear the crack in the air When kindness turns to smoke I back away, I back away Before it takes control I stay myself I stay myself I don’t let the dark get in my blood I stay myself I stay myself Even when I feel too small to stand up I stay myself (stay myself) I stay myself (stay myself) I keep my heart from learning your touch I stay myself I stay myself ’Cause I won’t become what I’m afraid of Some nights I hate how long The silence knows my name I stare at the wall for proof That I am not to blame My hands shake in the mirror My voice gets thin and low But fear is just a shadow It is not who I owe So I breathe through the break in me And let the cold go by I back away, I back away Then I look fear in the eye I stay myself I stay myself I don’t let the dark get in my blood I stay myself I stay myself Even when I feel too small to stand up I stay myself (stay myself) I stay myself (stay myself) I keep my heart from learning your touch I stay myself I stay myself ’Cause I won’t become what I’m afraid of If I’m lonely, let me be lonely Not cruel, not cold, not numb I can carry this aching softly Till my courage comes It grows in the quiet places It grows where I said no Every step away from poison Makes my own fire glow I stay myself I stay myself I don’t let the dark get in my blood I stay myself I stay myself Even when I feel too small to stand up I stay myself (stay myself) I stay myself (stay myself) I keep my heart from learning your touch I stay myself I stay myself I was never meant to be your love #synthwave #electro #pop #darkwave #rock #metalcore #metalhead #music #ai #aimusic #ambient #deathcore #deathmetal #melodic #metalcore #metalhead #normandy #bosshelicopter #recommended #recommendations #hitsong #Nightelves #Music #MusicVideo #NewMusic #Musician #MusicLife #IndieMusic #MusicLovers #MusicProduction #Songwriter #LiveMusic #MusicIndustry #DanceMusic #MusicFestival #MusicInspiration #MusicCollaboration #HipHop #PopMusic #RockMusic #ElectronicMusic #Rapper #SingerSongwriter #MusicCover #MusicArt #Instrumental #Acoustic #SongOfTheDay #MusicVibes #TrendingMusic #Musical #MusicAddict #AlbumRelease #Soundtrack #MusicChallenge #BehindTheScenes #MusicJourney #GuitarSolo #PianoCover #Vocalist #DJLife #MusicProducer #MusicalNotes #Songwriting #MusicGoals #CoverSong #MusicCreativity #MusicMix #SingingChallenge #ViralMusic #MusicCommunity #MusicTherapy #MusicMadness #Lyrics #MusicDiversity #MusicForLife #InstaMusic #Spotify #YouTubeMusic #RisingArtist #FreshMusic #MusicLoversUnite #MusiciansOfInstagram #MusicPassion #HeartfeltMusic #EpicMusic #MusicStudio #RecordLabel #MusicSteps #GenreMusic #MusicMood #Covers #Music24/7 #UndergroundMusic #FutureHits #MusicianLife #MusicShowcase #CreativeMusic #HottestTracks #SongSuggestions #HitSongs #InspiringMusic #MusicHungers #WavesOfMusic #MusicalJourney #VibeWithMusic #Melody #SongDiscovery #UndiscoveredArtists #MusicIsLife #SoundCloud #MusicalVibes #SonicJourney #LocalArtists #EmergingArtists #MusicalInnovation #MusicMoments
