[Intro – spoken, low female vocal] Keys in my hand… rain against the glass… I can feel you watching me like you know I'm almost gone. I'm not here to fight. I'm here to tell you what I couldn't keep swallowing. So look at me, baby… and listen this time. [Verse 1] I left my earrings by the bathroom sink Your old coat's still hanging where you always leave it There's an empty glass beside my chair And all this history is sitting everywhere Dinner went cold while I stared at the floor You asked what's wrong, but I've heard that before If you could see what I'm trying to hide You'd know how lonely it feels sitting by your side I've learned your silence, I've learned your pride I've learned how you disappear while you're standing right beside me And I don't want another night Where I cry in the dark and tell myself we're alright [Pre-Chorus] So before I turn that key Before this hurt becomes goodbye I'm giving you the truth So look me in the eyes [Chorus] Do you still feel me when you hold me? Do you still see the woman underneath? 'Cause I've been loving you through every storm While losing little pieces of me I stayed when your walls went up I stayed when you couldn't say enough I've given you a love you can't replace So tell me now, baby, face to face Do you still want this heart of mine? 'Cause nobody's loved you harder than I have tonight [Verse 2] I remember mornings when you pulled me close Coffee on the counter, your favorite old radio You'd kiss my forehead before you left And somehow those little things meant everything Now we pass each other like strangers do Two people sharing rooms but forgetting what to say I reach across the bed at night And find an empty space where your arms used to be And when your temper fills the room I become that girl who's afraid of what comes next I promised myself I'd never confuse Being loved with learning how to accept less I don't need perfect I don't need easy I just need your love to stop making me feel so lonely [Pre-Chorus] So before I close that door Before my tears become goodbye I'm giving you one last chance To really see me tonight [Chorus] Do you still feel me when you hold me? Do you still see the woman underneath? 'Cause I've been loving you through every storm While losing little pieces of me I stayed when your walls went up I stayed when you couldn't say enough I've given you a love you can't replace So tell me now, baby, face to face Do you still want this heart of mine? 'Cause nobody's loved you harder than I have tonight [Bridge – stripped down, spoken/sung] I'm not asking you to promise forever I'm asking you to be honest right now Because I know what I gave you. I know every night I stayed. I know every time I chose forgiveness when walking away would've been easier. And baby… I'm not afraid to leave anymore. I'm afraid I'll stay and disappear completely. So if you love me… love me where I can feel it. [Verse 3 – emotional build] I know the weight you've carried from before The names and memories you've never closed the door on I know you learned to run when things got deep But I'm not the ones who taught you how to leave I never asked you to forget your past I only asked you not to make me pay for it I've been patient, I've been faithful I've been the woman standing beside you through it all But love can't live on what it used to be And I can't keep begging you to choose me [Final Chorus – powerful] Do you still feel me when you hold me? Do you still know the woman standing here? I've loved you through your darkest nights And stayed through every doubt and fear I was there when you broke down I was there when no one else was around I gave you every part of me I could And loved you harder than I ever should So if you want me, baby, say my name Don't let another silence take my place Because I won't keep loving from the edge While you decide what you want next If you still want this heart of mine Then reach for me before I cross that line 'Cause nobody's gonna love you The way I have Nobody's gonna know you The way I do And nobody's gonna stay this long Unless you give them a reason to [Outro – soft, broken vocal] The rain is still falling… The room is still quiet… My keys are still in my hand. So tell me, baby… Am I walking out alone? Or are you finally coming home to me? [long instrumental fade – smoky saxophone, blues guitar, rain]
