A little longer

⸻

[verse 1]
you stand there like you’re leaving
but you haven’t moved
like you’re waiting for a reason
I won’t give to you

your keys still in your hand
but your eyes on me
like you want me to ask
like you need me to speak

⸻

[pre-chorus]
I won’t beg you to stay
I know how that goes
but if you take one step
I might lose you for good

⸻

[chorus – emotional, simple hook]
so stay a little longer
you don’t have to say it out loud
just stay a little longer
we can figure it out

don’t leave me in the silence
don’t turn this into nothing now
just stay a little longer
before you walk out

⸻

[verse 2]
we say things we don’t mean
just to feel in control
but the truth’s in the space
when we’re losing it all

you look like you’re tired
of holding it in
but you still hesitate
like you might give in

⸻

[pre-chorus]
I see it on your face
you’re already gone
but a part of you stays
and I’m holding on

⸻

[chorus]
so stay a little longer
you don’t have to say it out loud
just stay a little longer
we can figure it out

don’t leave me in the silence
don’t turn this into nothing now
just stay a little longer
before you walk out

⸻

[bridge – stripped / breaking voice]
if I don’t say it
will you disappear?
if I reach for you
will you even be here?

⸻

[final chorus – bigger, raw]
just stay a little longer
I don’t need you to be sure
just stay a little longer
like you did before

don’t leave me with the quiet
don’t make this what it was
just stay a little longer
just… stay because
