you belong to me, friend

**"Stay In My Orbit"**

**[Verse 1]**
You met a hundred people today
But you still came running my way
I know the stories, know the names
Know exactly how to pull your strings again

I say jump, you laugh it off
Like you never see the little costs
Every secret sitting in my hand
Like a map of everywhere you stand

**[Pre-Chorus]**
You think it's chance, you think it's fate
But I keep closing every gate
Nice enough that you won't leave
Careful with what I let you see

**[Chorus]**
Stay in my orbit, don't drift far
I like knowing where you are
Every road you try to take
Somehow bends back my way

Call it friendship, call it trust
Call it whatever makes it enough
You don't notice what I hide
When I keep your world inside mine

**[Verse 2]**
I roll my eyes at your new friends
Quietly hope they don't fit in
Smile and tell you they seem nice
Then plant a little seed of doubt at night

I know your fears, I know your scars
Know which buttons leave a mark
I never scream, I never fight
I just pull the wires out of sight

**[Pre-Chorus]**
If you wander, if you roam
I'll make somewhere else feel less like home
Not enough for you to know
Just enough to never go

**[Chorus]**
Stay in my orbit, don't drift far
I like knowing where you are
Every road you try to take
Somehow bends back my way

Call it friendship, call it trust
Call it whatever makes it enough
You don't notice what I hide
When I keep your world inside mine

**[Bridge]**
Maybe I'm scared of being left behind
Maybe that's the reason why
I build these walls around your days
And paint them like a safe place

But every cage with flowers grows
Into a cage the captive knows

**[Final Chorus]**
Stay in my orbit, don't drift far
That's the way it's always been so far
But I see the look inside your eyes
You're finally reading between the lines

Call it friendship, call it control
Call it a fear I never told
And as you walk beyond my sight
I lose the grip I've held so tight

**[Outro]**
You step away, the strings go slack
For once, I know you're not coming back.
