[Verse 1] The house at midnight hums too loud Empty rooms remember vows Your cup still waits, my hands still shake I pour the silence, let it break [Pre-Chorus] Every breath feels borrowed, every word feels slow You smile like forgiveness I don’t deserve to know [Chorus] Stay, just until the candle dies We’ll pretend it’s not goodbye If the rain forgets to end Can I still call you friend? [Verse 2] The ring mark fades, but not the skin I wear the ache I used to win You touch my hand — I don’t pull away The tea’s gone cold, but I make you stay [Pre-Chorus] Every glance a question, every hush a prayer If I’m breaking promises, will anyone care? [Chorus] Stay, just until the candle dies We’ll pretend it’s not goodbye If the rain forgets to end Can I still call you friend? [Bridge] Ghosts don’t mind if I forget How to love and not regret If it’s wrong, then let it be For tonight, just sit with me [Final Chorus] Stay, just until the candle dies We’ll forgive the reasons why If the night can’t find its end Let it fall — we’ll make amends The house at midnight always hums — again [Outro] [Instrumental][Soft Piano Outro][Brush Drum Swell][Cello Fade][Warm Reverb Tail][rain on glass]
