Don’t Walk Away

I said I’m fine but I’m barely breathing

You’re still the reason I can’t sleep

Left your shirt in the back of the closet

But your scent still lives on me

You said goodbye like it didn’t shake you

But your eyes — they gave you away

Now I’m sitting in the silence

Begging you to stay

Don’t walk away, not tonight

Can’t lose you in the morning light

I don’t want pride, I just want right

Even if we’re breaking

I’m still not faking

Don’t walk away — not from this fight

Hold me once like you used to do

Lie if you have to, but say we’ll make it through

Even if it’s over

Let me feel you closer

Just don’t walk away from me tonight

We broke in places no one saw

Smiled in public, cried behind walls

You held the pieces when I came undone

Now you’re dropping them one by one

I’m not asking you to fix it

I’m just asking for a chance

To be the version of me

That you loved in the past

Don’t walk away, not tonight

Can’t lose you in the morning light

I don’t want pride, I just want right

Even if we’re breaking

I’m still not faking

Don’t walk away — not from this fight

Hold me once like you used to do

Lie if you have to, but say we’ll make it through

Even if it’s over

Let me feel you closer

Just don’t walk away from me tonight

We can fall apart tomorrow

But let me love you now

Say my name like you mean it

Like you still don’t know how

Don’t go quiet, not like this

Don’t leave me with just what-if’s

If this is our last night — let it feel like love

Don’t walk away

Not yet

Not now

Not us
