dont let my heart stop beating

I’ve been counting ceiling cracks Blue glow on my skin Every little what-if What-then Crawling back in You say, “Breathe in Hold” My hands still shaking I’m scared of the silence And all that it’s taking [Pre-Chorus] Clock on the nightstand Blurs the time You turn your back I hold the line [Chorus] Don’t let my heart stop beating Stay ‘til the dark stops creeping Hold me so close I feel Every reason I’m still here Don’t let my heart stop beating Say this night’s worth keeping Say it again Don’t leave me Don’t let my heart stop beating [Verse 2] Coffee on the counter Cold Half-read note Torn edge You talk like tomorrow’s loud I’m stuck on the ledge Phone on the table Face to the floor Every vibration Feels like a war You draw little circles On the back of my hand Suddenly the ground feels More like solid land [Pre-Chorus] You wear your silence Cold like a ring I wear the fear Of losing everything [Chorus] Don’t let my heart stop beating Pull me back when I’m slipping I’m hanging on your breathing One word away from leaving Don’t let my heart stop beating Say you still care Say something Keep me right there [Bridge – low register] If I fade If I fall through Call my name Pull me back to you Every breath Every small proof Says I’m alive when I’m with you [Bridge – crescendo] If you’re tired Say you’re tired If you’re done Then say you’re done But don’t just fade into the quiet Like we were never anyone Give me something I can live with Or a cleaner goodbye [Final Chorus] Don’t let my heart stop beating I feel it when you’re near The fear goes quiet When you’re here Don’t let my heart stop beating Stay until I’m steady again Say it slow Say it honest Say you’ll stay until the end [Outro] Breath on the window Name in the fog You say it’s nothing I say it’s not But your hand stays And mine does too And the night loosens Just enough to move
