Verse 1
You’re lying there with the lights turned low
Machines are breathing soft and slow
I’d trade my breath just to see you breathe
But I’m frozen here, down on my knees
They say “stay strong” like I have a choice
Like I can quiet this breaking voice
I give you a smile, pretend I’m brave
Then fall apart when I walk away
Chorus
I hate to see you hurting
Hate that love can’t fix this at all
I would take your pain from you
If it was mine to fall
I’m watching you fade while I still stay
With nothing left but words to say
All I can do now is pray
All I can do now is pray
Pray to God, just let you stay
Verse 2
Your smile tries to protect me still
Like you’re the strong one against your will
You say “I’m fine,” but I see the fear
In every breath, in every tear
I search your face for something sure
A sign this moment isn’t forever
But time moves on with broken feet
And hope feels thin and incomplete
Pre-Chorus
If faith is trusting what I can’t see
Why does it feel like it’s breaking me
I believe… but I’m begging still
For a miracle beyond my will
Chorus
I hate to see you hurting
Hate that love can’t fix this at all
I would take your pain from you
If it was mine to fall
I’m watching you fade while I still stay
With nothing left but words to say
All I can do now is pray
All I can do now is pray
Pray to God, just let you stay
Bridge (very quiet, almost a whisper)
If You can hear me, don’t turn away
I don’t need answers
I just need today
I’m on my knees, I’ve lost control
Please don’t let go
Please hold on
I need you
Hold on
Final Chorus (bigger, but still fragile)
I hate to see you hurting
Hate that love can’t fix this at all
I would take your pain from you
If it was mine to fall
I’m watching you fade while I still stay
With nothing left but words to say
All I can do now is pray
All I can do now is pray
Pray to God, just let you stay
Outro (piano only, soft)
I’ll pray…
Just let you stay
