Stay Until the Morning

Verse 1

I heard your voice in a crowded room

Felt it echo like a ghost I knew

You said my name like it still meant something

But your eyes… they were already running

I should’ve known from the way you smiled

Like you’d only stay for a little while

You hold me close like you’re scared of leaving

But you always do before I’m breathing

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I try to play it cool, pretend I don’t mind

But I’m counting every second you’re not mine

⸻

Chorus

So won’t you stay until the morning

Just this once, don’t let me fall alone

I’m so tired of the almosts forming

Into stories I replay at home

You touch me like you’re gonna keep me

Then disappear without a warning

If you don’t love me, just don’t start

But if you do… stay until the morning

⸻

Verse 2

I learned your laugh, memorized your hands

Like I always do with these half-made plans

You tell me things like you’ve never told anyone

Then vanish before it’s begun

And I hate that I still wait around

For a text that never makes a sound

You walked in like you were different

Now you’re just another distance

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I give too much to people passing by

And I’m left here wondering why

⸻

Chorus

So won’t you stay until the morning

Just this once, don’t let me fall alone

I’m so tired of the almosts forming

Into stories I replay at home

You touch me like you’re gonna keep me

Then disappear without a warning

If you don’t love me, just don’t start

But if you do… stay until the morning

⸻

Bridge (soft → powerful)

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m too much

Maybe I feel everything you won’t touch

But I’d rather be all in than halfway gone

Than be someone you forget at dawn

⸻

Final Chorus (big, emotional)

So won’t you stay until the morning

Or let me go before I break again

I can’t keep living in the warning

Of loving people who just pretend

You say you care but never show it

And I’m the one left here mourning

If I’m not enough to hold your heart

Then don’t you dare stay ‘til the morning
