[Verse 1]
I stood beside that box of bones
And heard my own name in the walls
Regret came in like winter rain
Cold on the back of my calls
I held the ache in both my hands
Tried not to let it show my face
But there was still one living spark
Under the weight I misplaced
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was one step from the edge
One breath from letting go
Then I saw a small porch light
Burning through the snow
[Chorus]
I won't push the red button
Not tonight, not today
I still got a pulse in my chest
I still got words to say
I won't push the red button
I can leave that room
I can learn to be more meaning
One small step at a time
[Verse 2]
I called the number on the page
My voice shook like a broken gate
I told the truth I kept too long
And let somebody share the weight
There was a mug by the sink
A chair that held me like a friend
A second chance in plain old air
I did not know could mend
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was one step from the edge
One breath from letting go
Then I heard another heartbeat
Saying, "don't go slow"
[Chorus]
I won't push the red button
Not tonight, not today
I still got a pulse in my chest
I still got words to say
I won't push the red button
I can leave that room
I can learn to be more meaning
One small step at a time
[Bridge]
If you see me standing quiet
Please don't let me disappear
Put a hand on my shoulder
Help me stay right here
I am not my hardest hour
I am not my worst mistake
I can carry this tomorrow
If I let myself awake
[Final Chorus]
I won't push the red button
Not tonight, not today
I still got a pulse in my chest
I still got words to say
I won't push the red button
I can leave that room
I can learn to be more meaning
One small step at a time
(One small step)
(One small step)
(I'll choose to stay)
