[Verse 1] The silence fills the house there is no more laughter filling the entrance doorway You count the minutes without saying The things we’re both afraid to think [Pre-Chorus] If leaving has to happen Don’t turn away just yet There’s one small piece of tomorrow I’m not ready to forget [Chorus] Hold me one last time before we say goodbye Let the silence tell us what we couldn’t write I’ll keep the shape of your hands Long after you cross that line Hold me one last time Before we say goodbye [Verse 2] The hallway carries every winter The marks we made along the wall We learned to mend what broke between us But not to keep it from the fall [Pre-Chorus] So stay until the morning Or stay until the tears run dry Give me one honest moment Before you step into your life [Chorus] Hold me one last time before we say goodbye Let the silence tell us what we couldn’t write I’ll keep the shape of your hands Long after you cross that line Hold me one last time Before we say goodbye [Bridge] No promise needs to follow No blame needs to remain Some love can be a doorway Even when it closes gently in the rain [Final Chorus] Hold me one last time before we say goodbye Let your heartbeat meet mine underneath the quiet night I’ll carry the good we had And let the rest fall behind Hold me one last time Stay with me inside this goodbye [Outro] The kettle cools beside the sink I watch you turn, I breathe, I blink Hold me one last time Then go when you’re ready to go
