[Verse 1] You talk about next summer And for a second I can see it too A place that feels like ours A life that somehow fits with you You say my name like you mean it And I catch myself smiling again That should feel simple That should feel good But fear still knows when to begin [Pre-Chorus] Every old voice wakes up Every scar starts talking again “Don’t trust this” “Don’t need that” “Leave before it leaves you flat” [Chorus] When everything says run I’m gonna stay this time When every part of me gets scared I’m not gonna call it a sign Because being here with you Feels more like home than hiding ever did So when everything says run I’m staying where the good thing is [Verse 2] I almost made the same mistake Almost pulled away too fast Almost blamed you for a future That only looked like my past But you never asked to save me Never promised you’d erase Every broken thing I carry You just gave it room and space And somehow in the quiet I started feeling something new Not safe because nothing could hurt me Safe because I could tell the truth [Pre-Chorus 2] So I told you what I’m afraid of Told you why I disappear Told you every time love feels real My first instinct is fear And you didn’t turn away You didn’t make me feel ashamed You just held the truth I gave you Like it didn’t change my name [Chorus] When everything says run I’m gonna stay this time When every part of me gets scared I’m not gonna call it a sign Because being here with you Feels more like home than hiding ever did So when everything says run I’m staying where the good thing is [Bridge – stripped back] I told you the worst of me The parts I usually hide The ways I pull away The ways I leave before goodbye And you didn’t flinch You didn’t make me prove That I was easy to love Before you chose to [Build] Maybe courage isn’t fearless Maybe it’s being afraid And going for it anyway Maybe it’s finding someone Who makes you want to stay [Final Chorus] When everything says run I’m gonna stay this time When every memory says “protect yourself” I’m leaving that behind You know the good You know the damage You know the parts I try to hide And you still reach for me Like none of it changes what you see inside So when everything says run I’m not listening tonight For once I’m running toward the love That makes me want to stay For once I’m choosing us Instead of throwing it all away © 2026 Pedro Aleixo / Forgotten Confessions
