[Intro – soft, almost breaking]
Hey…
You don’t gotta fight it anymore…
I’m right here…
[Verse 1]
You been holding on longer than they thought you would
Every breath getting harder but you still stood
And I hate that I’m praying that you finally rest
But I see all the pain in your chest
Machines hum like a lullaby in the dark
Every beep like a ticking, counting your heart
And I’d trade every second just to take your place
But I can’t… so I sit… and I stay
[Pre-Chorus]
If you close your eyes… don’t be scared
I’ll be right here… I swear
You don’t gotta wake up for me
You’ve done more than enough for me
[Chorus – soft, emotional release]
So sleep easy tonight…
Let the weight fall off your mind
If you drift where I can’t go
Just know you don’t go alone
Don’t fight just to stay for me
I can learn how to be okay
If you leave in your dreams tonight…
I’ll just say… you sleep easy tonight…
[Verse 2]
I remember when your voice filled every room
Now it’s quiet and it cuts me in two
Try to smile so you don’t see me break down
But I’m losing every piece of you now
Doctors talk but it all sounds far away
Like the world doesn’t know what to say
And I’d beg you to stay if it wasn’t so cruel
But I love you too much to make you
[Pre-Chorus]
If you feel something pulling you light
Like the dark finally turned into light
Don’t look back, don’t hold on for me
Just let go… be free…
[Chorus]
So sleep easy tonight…
Let the weight fall off your mind
If you drift where I can’t go
Just know you don’t go alone
Don’t fight just to stay for me
I can learn how to be okay
If you leave in your dreams tonight…
I’ll just say… you sleep easy tonight…
[Bridge – quiet, intimate, almost whispered]
If there’s somewhere past the pain
Where your body feels no chains
If there’s peace beyond this room
I hope it finds you soon
And if dreams are where you go…
I hope they feel like home…
[Outro – fading, voice cracking but calm]
You can rest now…
I’ll be okay…
You don’t have to stay awake…
Just… sleep…
