[Intro] I don’t remember the last night we both slept peacefully. Now it’s always the same… 4 AM. The smell of whiskey. Your shaking hands. The sound of me pretending not to cry. And you beside me… slowly disappearing. [Verse 1] You sit on the bathroom floor again, head against the wall, eyes empty like abandoned houses. There’s blood on your knuckles, another broken glass in the sink. And when I ask what happened, you just whisper, “Nothing… I’m just tired.” But tired people sleep. You destroy yourself instead. I watch you pour another drink like it’s medicine, like maybe this time it’ll finally kill the pain inside your chest. And God… I wish I could rip the sadness out of you with my bare hands. [Chorus] You keep saying you’re a burden… that loving you feels like drowning. But don’t you understand? I would drown a thousand times if it meant you stayed alive. So please… don’t die tonight. Don’t leave me alone with your side of the bed still warm. Don’t make me learn how to live in a world without your voice in it. I know your heart is exhausted, I know your soul can barely stand. But I still hold your trembling body like somehow love might save the man that the darkness keeps stealing from me. And every time you say, “I’m sorry for who I am,” something inside me breaks. Because you don’t see what I see. You only see ruins. I still see someone worth saving. [Verse 2] You haven’t looked in a mirror for weeks. You hate your own reflection now. You flinch when I touch your face like kindness burns your skin. Like you’ve spent so long hurting you forgot what comfort feels like. Some nights you stop talking completely. You just stare out the window with tears running silently down your cheeks. And I sit there beside you, pretending not to notice… because I know how much you hate being seen when you’re breaking apart. But I see everything. I see the way your hands shake when the alcohol wears off. I see the pills hidden in your jacket pocket. I see the exhaustion in your bones. And I see the terrifying moment every single night… where it feels like you’re deciding whether to stay alive or not. [Chorus 2] You told me once: “I don’t think I was meant to survive this life.” And I smiled through tears because I didn’t know what else to do while hearing the person I love slowly say goodbye. So please… don’t die tonight. Don’t let the whiskey be the last thing that holds you. Don’t close your eyes thinking nobody would miss you. Because I would. God, I would. I would miss the way you laugh when you forget to be sad for a second. I would miss your sleepy voice at 3 AM. I would miss your heartbeat against my chest. I would miss all the pieces of you you think are worthless. And if you leave… I swear this world will never feel alive again. [Bridge] I’m so scared. I’m scared every time my phone rings late at night. I’m scared when you lock the bathroom door too long. I’m scared when you say “you deserve someone better,” because it sounds too much like farewell. And maybe that’s selfish… but I don’t want flowers at your funeral. I don’t want to kiss a photograph instead of your lips. I don’t want memories. I want you. Even broken. Even addicted. Even drowning. I still want you. [Instrumental Break] So please… just survive tonight. That’s all I’m asking anymore. You don’t have to heal. You don’t have to smile. You don’t have to promise me forever. Just… stay. Stay long enough to see another sunrise. Stay long enough for me to hold your shaking hands again. Because I can feel you slipping away, and no matter how tightly I hold you… the darkness keeps pulling harder. And if I lose you… if one morning your heart finally gives up… Then every empty bottle, every sleepless night, every tear on your pillow… will become the ghost that haunts me for the rest of my life. [Outro] You’re finally asleep now. Your face looks younger when you’re not hurting. Almost peaceful. Almost safe. And I sit beside you in the dark, counting every breath you take because I’m terrified one of them will be your last. So I stay awake. Just in case love alone can still keep you alive.
