Ready to Stay is a grounded, heart-forward song about choosing commitment over chaos. It’s about planting your feet, lowering your guard, and deciding that what you’ve built—and who you’ve built it with—is worth staying for.

[Verse 1]
I don’t want no picture-perfect man
The kind who never screwed it up
Give me the one who’s walked through fire
And still came back enough

Dragged through the dirt, called every name
Counted out, but stood just the same.
Yeah, him—that’s the one I want
The one who’s lived it all.
The one ready to stay

[Chorus]
Give me the man with scars, not the mask
The one who’s done running from his past
He don’t need the thrill, he wants something real
A soft place to land at last

When the world gets heavy, he’s my steady ground
When the lights go dark, he’s the home I’ve found
Yeah, give me the flawed man, the real one
The one who’s done with the chase…
Ready to stay.

[Verse 2]
He’s seen crazy, made mistakes
Now he’s chasing peace instead
Not the one still looking around
For what he’s already bled

He knows the lies, the empty nights
The games these streets all play
But he knows what we’ve got is real
And he won’t let it slip away.
‘Cause he’s ready to stay.

[Chorus]
Give me the man with scars, not the mask
The one who’s done running from his past
He don’t need the thrill, he wants something real
A soft place to land at last

When the world gets heavy, he’s my steady ground
When the lights go dark, he’s the home I’ve found
Yeah, give me the flawed man, the real one
The one who’s done with the chase, and ready to stay.

[Bridge]
Not the perfect man, not the highlight reel
But the man who knows what it means to feel
When he chooses me, he won’t wonder why
He’ll know it’s real, and so will I.

[Final Chorus / Outro]
So give me the man with scars, not the mask
The one who’s here to build, not look back
He don’t need the thrill, he wants something real
A love that’s made to last

When the world gets heavy, he’s my steady ground
When the world falls silent, it’s love I’ve found
Yeah, give me the flawed man, the real one
The one who’s done with the chase…
Ready to stay.
Ready to stay.
Ready to stay.
He’s ready to stay.
