Lyrics
[Intro – piano only]
[Slow. Soft. Almost hesitant.]
Verse 1
You don’t talk the way you used to.
Your eyes drift past the light.
There are whispers in the hallway.
I can’t say them out loud tonight.
I always thought you were unbreakable
Stronger than then all fears.
Now I’m holding your hands
Like you once held me
Chorus
Stay until the morning
Don’t leave me with the night.
I’m not as strong as I pretend,
When you turn out the light.
You said the monsters weren’t real
That shadows couldn’t stay
But I still need your voice
To keep the dark away.
Verse 2
You say sorry for the weakness,
Like it’s something you chose.
But I’ve seen mountains crumble
And still call them stone.
The room feels so much smaller,
Or maybe that’s just me.
Trying not to fall apart,
While you’re trying to breathe.
Chorus
Please just stay.
Stay until morning
Don’t leave me with the night.
I’m not as strong as I pretend,
When you turn out the light.
You said the monsters weren’t real,
That shadows couldn’t stay.
But I still need your voice,
To keep the dark away.
[Bridge (almost spoken, very soft]
You don’t have to fight it
You don’t have to be brave
Let me be the strong one now
For once, let me stay
[Final Chorus (stripped, barely above a whisper]
Stay until morning
Or slip away in peace
I’ll carry all your stories
The ones you couldn’t keep
And if you find the monsters
Tell them I’m okay
You taught me how to face the dark
I’ll be okay
(You taught me how to face the dark)
So I’ll be....
okay
