[Intro] A cracked glass sitting on the desk A book left untouched, put to rest And outside the windowpane The wind is blowing just the same [Verse 1] An empty glass that seems to forget How it feels to be filled up yet A story stopped halfway through Only the next page in view Is shaking, dancing in the wind A weather doll hangs by the window sill Smiling through the pain, standing still Just to clear the sky for someone else Pretending that it’s doing well [Pre-Chorus] Can I come and sit right by your side? You don't even have to speak or hide Every single scar you’ve tried to keep I’ll just stay here, hold them close, and let you weep [Chorus] 'Cause you see, I was once like you Just a withered leaf falling through Blown away by the wind so cold Nowhere to go, no hand to hold The suffocating pain of a tightened thread That wrapped around my neck with dread And the cruel weight the world put on your chest I know it all, I’ve been through all the rest That is why... I am standing by your side [Verse 2] You don't have to say "I'm okay" You don't have to be strong today It’s fine if you can't make it through For now, my dear... No answers are required from you [Bridge] If right now... You feel a push behind your back To fade into the blue, to fade to black To melt away into the sky... Before you do... Just for once... Listen to the warmth of your own breath Deep inside, past the fear of death A fragile flame is shivering in the dark Reach out your hand, find that little spark [Final Chorus] I was a withered leaf, it’s true But remember, I am just like you We are not the only ones who fell If we gather close, we can break the spell And bring back a little warmth today So please, I beg you, stay That tightened thread that makes you choke Loosen it a bit, before it broke Just for now... Stay right here with me 'Cause "Goodbye" is the last thing I want to hear [interlude] Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye [Outro] Look... The wind has grown... A little sweeter now ......Let’s stay together
