**[Verse 1]**
*Midnight whispers, shadows cling,*
*I hold your hand but fear the sting.*
*Every "forever" feels too thin,*
*Like borrowed time we’re living in.*
**[Pre-Chorus]**
*I count your breaths while you sleep,*
*Pray the promises we keep*
*Won’t fade like echoes in the dark—*
*Love like ours leaves scars.*
**[Chorus]**
*I’m too terrified to lose you,*
*Too shattered to pretend.*
*If love’s a gamble, I’m all in,*
*But I can’t play this game again.*
*So hold me like the world might end,*
*‘Cause to me, baby, it will.*
*I’m too terrified to lose you…*
*But terrified to say it still.*
**[Verse 2]**
*Your laughter’s my favorite sound,*
*But silence screams when you’re not around.*
*I memorize the way you sigh,*
*Like it’s the last time—tell me I’m wrong.*
**[Bridge]**
*(Whispered)*
*"Stay," I beg the universe,*
*But the stars don’t answer back.*
*So I cling to you like gravity,*
*One slip and I collapse.*
**[Chorus - Repeat]**
*I’m too terrified to lose you...*
**[Outro]**
*So love me reckless, love me wild,*
*Love me like we’re running out of time.*
*‘Cause every "I love you" feels like goodbye…*
*And I’m terrified.*

**Style Notes:**
- For a **raw, acoustic** vibe, strip down the production to piano/strings.
- For **pop drama**, add soaring vocals and a swelling instrumental drop in the chorus.
- Key themes: *Fear of abandonment, love as both comfort and pain, urgency.*
