Not Alright

Hey baby… it’s me.

I’m sorry about last night, you know that, right?

Yes baby… I know…

You know I love you, right? That I wouldn’t fight you, right?

I almost died that night…

I know… I’m sorry. I’m not alright… no… I’m not alright.

(He hangs up as she whispers goodnight)

[Male vocal] I’m not sure if this will be alright,

Chest tight, words stuck in the night.

I said I won’t fight… but inside I might,

Caught between holding on and losing the light.

I loved you loud… but I lost you slow,

All the things I couldn’t say… you’ll never know.

Broken promises on a midnight call,

Shadows dancing where your shadow falls.

Can’t find the words that I need to say,

Haunted by the love I pushed away.

I would’ve been gone last night if it weren’t for your fight,

Where you held me tight, kept me from the edge,

But I’m sinking deeper, lost in my head,

A silent battle that I dread.

And I wish I could turn back time,

Hold you close, make you mine.

But the silence screams so loud,

Lost in the storm, I’m sinking in the cloud.

Broken promises on a midnight call,

Shadows dancing where your shadow falls.

Can’t find the words that I need to say,

Haunted by the love I pushed away.

If I could rewrite the night,

Change the pain, make things right,

Would you stay, or slip away?

Lost in the darkness, I pray.

Not alright, I’m still trying,

Fighting shadows, tears crying.

Hope’s a distant, fading light,

Praying for a dawn after night.
