[Verse 1: Landry Cantrell]

I stay 'cause I was broken

And they could numb my pain

Created the addiction

That brought me back again

[Chorus: Landry Cantrell]

But You’re not temporary

Your love has made me new

And now that You've repaired me

I stay 'cause I, I want to

[Verse 2: Landry Cantrell & Kristen Hicks]

Defended their intention

I always took the blame

To stay in their affection (Ooh)

But still they walked away

[Chorus: Landry Cantrell & Kristen Hicks]

But You’re not temporary

Your love has made me new

And now that You've repaired me

I stay 'cause I, I want to

[Bridge: Landry Cantrell & Kristen Hicks]

We learn to live with our damage

Pretending we're not torn apart

But You can't fix a life with a bandage, no

You have to mend the heart (Ooh)

You have to mend the heart

And Jesus, You mend the heart

Whoa, only You can mend the heart

[Chorus: Landry Cantrell & Kristen Hicks]

'Cause You're not temporary, no

Your love has made me new

And now that You've repaired me, yeah

I stay ’cause I, I want to
