[Verse 1 - soft, minimal, intimate]
I’m not okay
I just mask it
Say I’m fine
Just like I practiced
You’re right here
But I feel distance
Same damn room
No existence
Everything’s fine
That’s what we say
We don’t crash
We just decay
---
[Pre-Chorus - light build, tension rising]
If I say it now
Does it fall apart?
If I pull you close
Do I lose your heart?
---
[Chorus - emotional, fuller, drums enter]
So just stay like this
Don’t say goodbye
Don’t say the words
That kill this vibe
Just fake one kiss
Look me in the eyes
And lie like hell
One last time
If it’s already over
Don’t let it show
Don’t leave me here
With nothing to hold
So just stay like this
Just for tonight
Before you tear
What’s left of me apart
---
[Verse 2 - stripped back again, reflective]
You don’t move
When I reach for you
You go cold
Like you always do
I feel it snap
I feel it crack
Every second
You don’t come back
You used to fight
Now you just quit
I’m still here
While you bury it
---
[Pre-Chorus - slightly stronger build]
If I ask you now
Will you tell me truth?
Or just shut me out
Like you always do?
---
[Chorus - bigger, more intensity]
So just stay like this
Don’t say goodbye
I see the ending
In your eyes
Just fake one kiss
Then shut off the lights
Let me drown
Inside the lie
If I’m already falling
Don’t make me try
Don’t make me beg you
To decide
So just stay like this
Just for tonight
Before you rip
Yourself from my life
---
[Bridge - stripped down, no drums, emotional]
I know you’re gone
I can feel it
You’re still here
But you don’t mean it
Don’t say the words
Don’t make it real
I’d rather break
Than lose what I feel
Don’t turn around
Don’t close that door
I won’t survive
That sound anymore
---
[Pause - near silence]
(soft)
I already know…
(soft)
Don’t… let go
---
[Final Chorus - biggest, full emotion]
So just stay like this
Don’t say goodbye
Even if everything
Inside you died
Just fake one kiss
Look me in the eyes
And bury me
Inside the lie
If this is the ending
Don’t let me see
Don’t take what’s left
Of you from me
So just stay like this
Just for tonight
Before you leave me
Alone with the night
---
[Outro - gradual fade, soft delivery]
Just stay…
like this…
Don’t say…
goodbye…
If you’re already gone…
just hold me…
one last time…
Zeus
