(INTRO – whispered)
I’m searching for something…
and it keeps slipping through me.
Feels like it’s pulling you down too.
⸻
(FEMALE VERSE 1)
I’ve been holding you up,
even when you don’t say a word.
You shut down,
and I pretend I’m strong enough for both of us.
But something’s missing in me too—
I feel it in my chest,
like a shadow sitting there,
waiting to break me open.
I try to understand you,
read you,
save you…
but all I get is silence
and the sound of my own heart cracking.
⸻
(MALE VERSE 1)
I hear you.
I swear I do.
But every time I try to talk,
the words just… die.
There’s this emptiness inside me,
deep as hell,
and even my breath disappears in it.
I’m scared you’ll leave,
’cause I know I’m pushing you away
while I’m trying to hold on.
⸻
(PRE-CHORUS – BOTH)
We’re both breaking,
both searching
for something we can’t name.
And it’s eating us alive.
⸻
(CHORUS – BOTH)
Don’t walk away now,
not while we’re falling apart.
Hold me when I shake,
when I don’t know how to speak.
We’re losing something,
losing us—
piece by piece.
Stay with me tonight,
even if it hurts.
We’re stronger broken together
than breaking alone.
⸻
(FEMALE VERSE 2)
I tried to save you,
but I’m drowning next to you.
And I can’t pretend
your pain doesn’t hit me too.
I’m tired,
not of loving you—
just of watching you fight alone
when I’m right here.
⸻
(MALE VERSE 2)
I know.
And it kills me.
I want to let you in,
but something inside keeps shutting down.
Feels like the darkness is faster than me,
like it’s swallowing me whole—
and I’m scared
you’ll get tired
and run.
⸻
(BRIDGE – BOTH, soft, raw)
F: I can’t lose myself trying to save you…
M: I can’t lose you trying to save myself…
F: Then talk to me…
M: Then stay with me…
BOTH: Don’t let this be the end.
⸻
(FINAL CHORUS – BOTH)
Don’t walk away now,
not while we’re almost gone.
Hold me when I break,
when the fear gets too loud.
We’re losing something,
losing us—
but we could still find each other
if we don’t let go.
Stay with me tonight.
Just breathe with me.
We need each other
more than we admit.
JOREN
