Verse 1
There’s a quiet in their voice now
That wasn’t there before
A softness in their footsteps
Like they don’t walk as sure
They smile but it feels thinner
Like it might break in two
Standing in the same room
But farther than they knew
Chorus
Please don’t go
Please don’t fade
Don’t let the light inside you
Turn into a shade
Stay right here
Don’t let go
I can feel you slipping
And I’m begging — please don’t go
Verse 2
They say they’re just tired
They say they’re doing fine
But there’s a storm behind their eyes
They’re hiding all the time
They used to fill the silence
With warmth that felt so real
Now every word is careful
Like they’re scared to feel
Chorus
Please don’t go
Please don’t fade
Don’t leave a hollow space
Where you once stayed
Hold on tight
Even slow
I can feel you drifting
And I’m begging — please don’t go
Bridge
If the weight is heavy
Set it down right here
You don’t have to carry
Every silent fear
If the dark is calling
Let someone turn the light
You don’t have to vanish
Just to survive the night
Final Chorus (Softer, aching)
Please don’t go
Stay somehow
Even if you’re breaking
Stay right now
There’s still a pulse
I know
So I’ll keep on hoping
Please… don’t go
