lyrics

I take a breath
You’re at the door
It’s a shame what we’ve been through
The back and forth
With voices raised
There’s too much shit between me and you

But stay
Stay
Hold my light until it goes away
Stay
Stay
Sing my blues until they fade to grays

There was a time
When we were young
The world was ours, we couldn’t lose
Those easy years
Gave way and then
We hit a wall and had to choose

To stay
Stay
To hold our light until it goes away
Stay
Stay
To sing our blues until they fade to grays

Another day
Breaks in our place
On my right side you sleep quietly
The room’s a mess
Of fears and tears
I close my eyes and listen to you breathe

I’ll stay
I’ll stay
I’ll hold your light until it goes away
Stay
Stay
I’ll sing your blues until they fade to grays
