[Verse 1]
I noticed you start shaking
When I stare for too long
Like your body understands me
Before your mind catches on
You pretend you don’t enjoy it
The way I pull you apart
Slowly learning every weakness
Like tracing veins inside your heart
⸻
[Verse 2]
You speak softer around me now
Like loud sounds might make me leave
And I love the way your personality
Changes when you need me
I can hear your thoughts go quiet
Every time I touch your skin
Like your whole nervous system
Is letting me inside again
⸻
[Chorus]
Stay… stay… stay with me
Even when it hurts to breathe
Slow… slow… pull me in
Till I don’t know where you end
Say my name
Say my name again
Over and over
Until it lives inside your head
⸻
[Verse 3]
You started using my expressions
Now your laughter sounds like mine
And every piece of your reflection
Feels slightly redesigned
I wonder if you realize
How easy you became to read
How your loneliness keeps opening
Every locked part underneath
⸻
[Bridge – eerie / soft repetition]
Closer… closer…
I can feel you changing
Closer… closer…
I can hear you breaking
You look prettier exhausted
You look honest when you ache
There’s something almost holy
About the way you bend
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Stay… stay… stay with me
Even when you can’t sleep
Slow… slow… sink beneath
Every part of me you keep
Say my name
Say it till it aches
Over and over
Till your voice starts sounding like mine
⸻
[Outro – whispered]
Stay with me…
Stay with me…
Stay.
