The Only One Left

(Verse 1)
The blinds are pulled tight and the air is stale
You’re smaller than usual, shaking and pale.
Your shoulders are slumped with a heavy weight
I’m sitting right here, and I’m closing the gate.
Your sleeves are down and your head’s in your lap
And I’m tired of watching you fall right back.
(Pre-Chorus)
The mirror is lying, the shadows are thick
And the life that you’re living is making me sick.
I’m done with the whispers and playing it cool
I’m not gonna sit here and act like a fool.
(Chorus)
I’m grabbing your wrists and I’m making you stay
I’m dragging the devil’s poison away.
You can scream at the ceiling and spit at my feet
But I’m not letting go while you’re tasting defeat.
I’m the only one left who’s willing to fight
To pull your soul back into the light.
(Verse 2)
Your phone hasn’t buzzed in a week and a half
I miss the old sound of an honest laugh.
There’s a hollowed-out look in the curve of your jaw
And the thinnest excuses that I ever saw.
I’m clearing the table, I’m flushing the rest
I’m taking the air from the lungs in your chest.
(Verse 3)
I found the receipts and the glass on the floor
And the marks on your arm you didn't have before.
You’re trading tomorrow for a minute of numb
But I’m standing right here, and I’m not gonna run.
The girl that I loved is still somewhere inside
And I’m dragging her away this slow suicide.
(Pre-Chorus)
The mirror is lying, the shadows are thick
And the life that you’re living is making me sick.
I’m done with the whispers and playing it cool
I’m not gonna sit here and act like a fool.

(Chorus)
I’m grabbing your wrists and I’m making you stay
I’m dragging the devil’s poison away.
You can scream at the ceiling and spit at my feet
But I’m not letting go while you’re tasting defeat.
I’m the only one left who’s willing to fight
To pull your soul back into the light.

(Bridge)
I’m blocking the exit and holding the keys
I don’t care if you beg or fall to your knees.
You’re a heartbeat away from a permanent sleep
And I’m diving in because the water's too deep.
I’ll be the monster that keeps you alive
Whatever it takes for you to survive.
(Outro)
The engine is warm and the door is locked tight
I’m stealing you back from the edge of the night.
You don’t have to speak, you don’t have to try
I’m not gonna watch while you’re saying goodbye
I gotta try
