Verse 1
You’re lying there
with lights turned low
Machines are breathing
soft and slow
I’d trade my breath to see you breathe
But I’m frozen here on my knees
They say “stay strong” like I have a choice
Like I can quiet this breaking voice
give you a smile, and pretend I’m brave
Then fall apart when I walk away
Chorus
I hate to see you hurting
Hate that love can’t fix at all
I'd trade every tomorrow
Just to hear your voice
When i call
Instead I’m watching
while you fade away
And Im still here standing
With no words to say
So all i can do now.. is pray
(All I can do now is... pray)
Pray to God, let you stay
Verse 2
Your smile tries to
protect me still
Like you’re the strong one
against your will
You say “I’m fine,” but I see the fear
In every breath, in every tear
Pre-Chorus
If faith is trusting what I can’t see
Why does it feel like it’s breaking me
I believe… but I’m begging still
For a miracle beyond my will
Chores
I hate to see you hurting
Hate that love can’t fix at all
I'd trade every tomorrow
Just to hear your voice
When i call
Instead I’m watching
while you fade away
And Im still here standing
With no words to
All i can do
All i can do
Oooh
Bridge (very quiet, almost a whisper)
Dont want to see you hurting
Hate that love can’t fix at all
Hate that all i can do is
Believe in things i cant see at all.
Final Chorus (bigger, but still fragile)
hate to see you hurting
Hate that love can’t fix this at all
I'd trade every tomorrow
Just to hear your voice
When i call
Instead I’m watching you fade
And I still stay
And i dont find the words for what to say
So all do now
(All I can do)
Outro (piano only, soft)
I’ll pray…
To god, to let you stay
