Stayed and Changed
(ooh-ooh, yeah)
We’ve been through things that nobody knows,
Had our highest highs,
had our lowest lows.
There were nights I wanted to pack my bags,
Walk out the door and never look back.
I can’t even count the times I almost left,
Times I questioned if this was really it.
I was tired of crying,
tired of the pain,
Tired of wondering if you’d ever change.
But something told me,
“Just hold on,” Even when I felt like all the love was
gone. And now I look at you and realize,
Maybe giving up wasn’t right.
’Cause you changed your ways,
Not just words—you showed me.
You started giving me the love I always needed you to give
me.
I hope it lasts forever,
I hope we stay this good.
I hope you keep loving me
The way you said you would.
‘Cause I’ve already given you
Pieces of my heart I can’t replace.
And after everything we’ve been through,
I don’t wanna lose this place. (ooh
yeah)
Look at everything we have now,
Three little reasons why I still believe somehow.
Ariel, Aubrey, and Renzo,
Three little hearts that made our love grow.
Sometimes I look around and smile,
Thinking about how far we’ve come in a little while.
‘Cause I don’t wanna wonder anymore,
I don’t wanna question what’s behind the door.
I just wanna trust the man I see,
And know you’re choosing us consistently.
I hope Ariel grows up seeing love that’s strong,
I hope Aubrey knows that love can right its wrongs.
I hope Renzo grows up knowing what it means To fight for
your family and protect your dreams.
And I hope one day we look back at these years,
And smile at everything we overcame through the tears.
I hope it lasts forever,
I really mean it when I say,
I don’t wanna lose the life we built Or watch it all
fade away.
I’m glad I didn’t leave you,
I’m glad I gave us one more chance.
Because you changed your ways,
And you finally gave me something I could understand. (Yeah)
We’ve been through a lot…
But we’re still here.
And I’m glad I stayed.
I’m glad you changed.
So please…
Don’t ever take me back
