⸻
(FEMALE VERSE 1)
You shut me out again.
Low voice. No warning.
And I’m here… acting like I can carry both of us.
There’s a hole in my chest
I can’t explain.
Feels like a shadow sitting there—
waiting to crack me open.
I keep asking what’s wrong.
You keep saying “nothing.”
Yeah…
but your silence is loud enough
to bruise me.
⸻
(MALE VERSE 1)
I hear you.
I just… can’t say things right.
Every time I try,
the words choke out.
There’s this empty space
no one can reach.
I fall into it,
and I’m scared
you’ll stop trying to pull me back.
⸻
(PRE-CHORUS – BOTH)
We’re breaking.
Quietly.
Like something soft
tearing from the inside.
⸻
(CHORUS – BOTH)
Don’t leave—
not now.
Not when I’m falling apart
right next to you.
Hold me,
even if I don’t ask.
’Cause we’re losing something,
losing us…
piece by piece.
Stay with me tonight.
Just stay.
Even if it hurts.
⸻
(FEMALE VERSE 2)
I’m trying…
not to drown beside you.
But your pain crawls into me
like it belongs there.
I keep telling you—
I can’t do this alone.
And I’m scared
you don’t notice
I’m breaking too.
⸻
(MALE VERSE 2)
I notice.
I always do.
It kills me
that I can’t say what I feel
without falling apart.
The dark moves faster than me.
I’m trying to outrun it
but I think…
you’re getting tired of waiting.
⸻
(BRIDGE – soft, fragile)
F: I can’t save you if I’m losing me…
M: I can’t lose you trying to save myself…
F: Then talk to me.
M: Then don’t walk away.
BOTH: Don’t let this be the end.
⸻
(FINAL CHORUS – BOTH)
Don’t walk away now.
Not when we’re almost gone.
Hold me when I shake,
when the fear gets loud.
We’re losing something—
yeah… losing us.
But maybe we can find it
if we don’t let go.
Stay.
Just breathe with me.
We’re stronger broken together
than breaking alone.
JOREN
