The edge

You’re the calm inside my head

The only place my heart can rest

You laugh when everything falls down

You lift me up off shaky ground

My breathing slows when you are close

Your arms feel like the only home

But when you turn and walk away

The silence gets too loud to face

I’m standing on the edge of us

Between the fear and fragile trust

Say you feel the way I do

Before the quiet pulls me through

I love you more when you’re right here

I lose myself when you disappear

Hold me like you really care

Don’t let go — I’m too deep in there

I love you more than I should

You break me just like I knew you would

You say we only need some space

But I can’t breathe without your place

Late nights staring at my phone

Scrolling through the love we’ve known

I tell myself I’ll be alright

But missing you keeps me awake at night

I almost call, then let it fade

Afraid of words that never stayed

All the things I couldn’t say

Still echo in the empty space

Tell me stay, just one more night

Tell me everything’s alright

‘Cause I have seen how dark it gets

When love is full of loneliness

I love you more when you’re right here

I lose myself when you disappear

Hold me like you really care

Don’t let go — I’m too deep in there
