(Intro — piano / ambient guitar)
If you’re hearing this…
You’re still here.
And that’s enough for tonight.
⸻
(Verse 1)
The walls are closing in again
Another battle I can’t win
The mirror shows a stranger’s face
Someone tired of this place
I’ve been carrying this weight so long
Trying to pretend I’m strong
While every night feels like a war
I don’t know what I’m fighting for
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
But there’s a voice beneath the pain
A whisper through the pouring rain
Saying don’t let go
Not yet
⸻
(Chorus)
Stay until sunrise
Stay for one more day
Stay for the people
Who’d never be the same
When the darkness tells you
There’s nothing left to save
Stay until sunrise
Don’t fade away
⸻
(Verse 2)
The shadows know my every scar
They know exactly where they are
They tell me nobody would care
If I simply disappeared
But I’ve learned demons always lie
When they look you in the eye
Because the storm inside my head
Isn’t stronger than my will to live
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
And somewhere underneath the hurt
A heartbeat still remains
⸻
(Chorus)
Stay until sunrise
Stay through the night
The world may feel broken
But you are still alive
And every breath you’re taking
Is proof you’re winning this fight
Stay until sunrise
Hold on tonight
⸻
(Breakdown)
ONE MORE HOUR
ONE MORE STEP
ONE MORE CHANCE
DON’T GIVE UP YET
THE NIGHT IS LONG
BUT IT WILL END
JUST HOLD ON
MY FRIEND
⸻
(Bridge — emotional clean vocals)
You don’t have to see forever
You don’t have to have a plan
Just make it through this moment
That’s enough to understand
The dawn is closer than you think
⸻
(Final Chorus)
Stay until sunrise
Stay for one more song
Stay because your story
Isn’t finished yet
And when the morning finds you
You’ll know you made it through
Stay until sunrise
The world is better with you in it
⸻
(Outro)
The night will pass…
Stay.
