Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I’m not pulling away I’m trying not to fall Every time you look at me I feel those old walls Rain tapping on the glass Your shadow in the light And loving you this close Feels dangerous tonight [Pre-Chorus] You don’t see the ghosts Living in my chest Every broken promise Every lonely breath You just see a woman Standing in your flame But loving you this deeply Might never be the same [Chorus] If I stay If I let you hold my heart this way If I breathe you in Like the rain tonight If I stay If I let these walls all fade away Will I still be me In your arms tonight [Verse 2] Your voice cuts through the silence Soft but strong and low And every word you whisper Makes the truth harder to hide Your eyes don’t look afraid That scares me even more Because the way you love me Feels like something I can’t ignore [Pre-Chorus] I’ve learned to walk away Before the ground gives in But you make standing still Feel like a different sin [Chorus] If I stay If I let you hold my heart this way If I breathe you in Like the rain tonight If I stay If I let these walls all fade away Will I still be me In your arms tonight [Bridge (very intimate)] Your hand against my face Your breath against my skin And for the first time in so long I don’t know where to begin Because loving you feels gentle But the fall feels deep And part of me wants forever While the other wants to leave [Final Chorus (bigger emotional lift)] If I stay If I let you see the truth in me Every scar I hide Every broken piece If I stay If I let your love surround me now Will I lose myself Or finally be free [Outro (soft)] Rain falling on the glass Your heartbeat next to mine Maybe… I’ll stay tonight.
