[Verse 1] You fold your hands inside your sleeves Like keeping warm from what nobody sees Red shoes waiting beside the chair A little proof that you were there [Pre-Chorus] The afternoon thins on the wall You count the cracks and let them fall [Chorus] Stay with me in the quiet room Where the old paint gathers its bloom No need to promise, no need to explain Just let your breathing loosen the chain Stay with me till the colors rest Till the weight goes soft beneath your chest [Verse 2] A cup gone cold on the windowsill The house is loud when the world stands still You turn your face toward the amber side And leave one lamp for the self you hide [Bridge] If the heart is a door with a broken key We can sit on the floor till it opens free I will not reach for the words you lost I will keep the silence, whatever it costs [Final Chorus] Stay with me in the quiet room Where the dark gives way to a gentler hue No need to promise, no need to explain Just let your breathing loosen the chain Stay with me till the colors rest Till you find your way back into yourself [Outro] Red shoes waiting beside the chair Morning will meet you there
