[Verse 1]
I paint my face like it’s fine
Pocket the cracks, keep the line
Mum asks, "Baby, you okay?"
I say, "Yeah, just a long day"
Isabel texts, "Where you at?"
I send a smile and a flat
Little lie, neat and clean
Like nobody sees the screams
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m tired of the hush
Tired of the clutch
Holding all this dark in my chest
If I let one tear fall
Would they hear it all?
Would they see I’m not at my best?
[Chorus]
Don’t let me fold alone
Don’t let me go stone-cold
I need a hand, I need a sign
Before I disappear inside
Don’t let me fold alone
I’m still here, I’m still home
For Mum, for Iz, for me
Stay with me, stay with me
[Verse 2]
I stare at the screen too long
Acting tough, staying strong
But my room feels too small tonight
And my thoughts keep picking fights
I was gonna disappear
Then I heard their voices clear
Mum’s soft laugh through the door
Iz saying, "Please, just one more"
[Pre-Chorus]
So I breathe through the rush
Breathe through the hush
Hands shaking, but I pick up the phone
If I crack in the middle
Say it plain, say it little
I don’t have to carry this alone
[Chorus]
Don’t let me fold alone
Don’t let me go stone-cold
I need a hand, I need a sign
Before I disappear inside
Don’t let me fold alone
I’m still here, I’m still home
For Mum, for Iz, for me
Stay with me, stay with me
[Bridge]
If I can’t say it straight
Then I’ll say, "I’m scared"
If I can’t hold my breath
Then I’ll ask for air
No more hiding in the dark
No more breaking apart
I want out of this night
I want back my heart
[Final Chorus]
Don’t let me fold alone
Don’t let me go stone-cold
I need a hand, I need a sign
Before I disappear inside
Don’t let me fold alone
I’m still here, I’m still home
For Mum, for Iz, for me
Stay with me, stay with me
[Outro]
I’m still here
I’m still here
For Mum, for Iz
I’m still here
