[Verse 1]
I stood on the edge of my own name
Hands shaking like a cracked phone screen
Thought the dark could swallow the whole thing
Thought I’d vanish clean
Cold tiles, closed eyes, no mercy
One breath felt like a war
Then I woke up mad at heaven
And I wanted more
[Pre-Chorus]
If you’re there in the black
Don’t let it seal your chest
I know that kind of silence
I know it says you’re less
But you’re not
No, you’re not
You’re still here
You’re still flesh
[Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If the dark got you tight
Stay with me tonight
I made it through the night
I made it through the night
And I’ll come back for you
Stay with me tonight
[Verse 2]
Now I carry that scar like a candle
Not pretty, but it burns
For the kid in the back of the building
Waiting on a turn
For the girl with her mouth full of "nothing"
For the boy with a deadened stare
For the one who smiles in the daylight
Then falls apart in there
[Pre-Chorus]
If you’re there in the black
Let me be your sound
I won’t call you broken
I won’t let you drown
Take my hand
Take my hand
We can crawl
We can out
[Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If the dark got you tight
Stay with me tonight
I made it through the night
I made it through the night
And I’ll come back for you
Stay with me tonight
[Bridge]
I’m not a saint
I’m a survivor with cracks
Still learning how to stand
Still learning how to look back
So if you need a reason
Borrow mine for now
One more hour, one more breath
One more step somehow
[Final Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If the dark got you tight
Stay with me tonight
I made it through the night
I made it through the night
And I’ll come back for you
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
You are not alone
Stay with me tonight
