[Verse 1]
I blame it on my father
When he walked out, somethin' deep inside me shattered
I got a fear of someone leavin'
I can't stand to hear the door close on my feelings
You met me right when I needed it
And you held hands with my weaknesses
Now we found each other
And I'm puttin' all my pieces back together

[Pre-Chorus]
I still remember that day in September
When you held me close
I nеver felt so safe, and for thе first time
I told you I know

[Chorus]
I wanna stay, -ay, -ay
'Cause even though I'm scared, I
I know that you'll be there
I wanna stay, -ay, -ay
Even on our darkest days
This time, I wanna stay for the right reasons

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh) For the right reasons
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
You can blame it on your father
'Cause you can't commit to lovin' how you wanna
And you're afraid of bein' honest
You won't risk a conversation out of comfort

[Pre-Chorus]
You still remember that day in September
When you held me close
You pulled me in, and you told me again
"Don't let me go"

[Chorus]
I wanna stay, -ay, -ay
'Cause even though I'm scared, I
I know that you'll be there
I wanna stay, -ay, -ay
Even on our darkest days
This time, I wanna stay for the right reasons

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh) For the right reasons
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh) For the right reasons
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh) For the right reasons
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh) For the right reasons
[Outro]
For the right reasons
For the right reasons
