The Moon Slept Tonight

V6

[Intro — rain, distant piano] The moon couldn't sleep tonight... Neither could I. So we just sat there pretending we were fine. [Verse 1] Rain keeps running down the glass, I watch every little drop go past. Everybody says that time will heal... Nobody says how long that takes to feel. I've got things I should've said, little wars inside my head. Old mistakes that know my name... Funny how they visit when it rains. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I don't need an answer. Maybe I don't need to know. Maybe some nights are just for letting go. [Chorus] So rain... fall a little harder tonight. Moon... you don't have to shine so bright. We can both disappear behind the clouds for a while. You don't have to glow. I don't have to smile. Tonight... we can just be tired. [Verse 2] I wonder how many windows glow with someone feeling this alone. How many people whisper “I'm okay” then fall apart when no one's awake. Maybe we're all little moons— showing light we borrowed too. Hiding every crater from the ones who only see us from afar. [Chorus] So rain... fall a little harder tonight. Moon... you don't have to shine so bright. We can both disappear behind the clouds for a while. You don't have to glow. I don't have to smile. Tonight... we can just be tired. [Bridge — almost spoken] And maybe tomorrow I'll get up again. Make some coffee. Answer my phone. Laugh at something stupid. Maybe healing isn't beautiful. Maybe sometimes... it's simply waking up and trying again. [Final Chorus — warm harmony enters] So rain... you can soften now. Moon... you can come back out. Nothing disappeared just because we lost the light. Some things only rest... they don't die. And maybe... that's enough tonight. [Outro — rain fading] The moon finally slept tonight... Eventually, so did I.
