Verse 1 White walls. Cold lights. Machines breathing in the dark. You’re lying there so quietly, while I’m standing beside you. I can see your face. I can see your hands. I can see the tears nobody knows are mine. I keep calling your name, but the room stays silent. Pre-Chorus I’m screaming through the glass, I’m screaming through the night. Can’t you hear me? I’m right here. I’m right here. Chorus Please, keep your heart beating. Don’t let it fade away. You don’t have to hear me. You don’t have to wake today. Just stay. Just breathe. Just give me one more heartbeat. I’m standing right beside you, begging you to stay. But nobody can hear me. Nobody sees my face. Verse 2 I reach for your fingers. I try to hold your hand. But my hands go straight through you, like I was never there. I try again. Nothing. Just empty air where your warmth used to be. Pre-Chorus So I scream a little louder. I scream until it hurts. The nurses keep walking past us. The machines keep counting time. And you just lie there, somewhere I cannot reach. Chorus Please, keep your heart beating. Don’t disappear from me. There’s still a part of you I know is underneath. Just stay. Just breathe. Just give me one more heartbeat. I’m shouting through the silence, but you don’t turn to me. And nobody can hear me. Nobody can see. Bridge I remember who you were. The girl who used to laugh until her stomach hurt. The girl who danced alone when nobody was watching. The girl who thought she had so much time. Where did she go? I’m standing here with everything you left behind. And I don’t know how to bring you back. Chorus PLEASE, keep your heart beating! Can’t you hear me screaming? I’m right here beside you! I’m reaching for your hand but I keep falling through. Please, don’t let go. Please, don’t disappear. I would give anything to know you’re still in there. So I scream your name until my voice is gone. But the room remains silent. And the monitor keeps ticking. One heartbeat. Then another. And I stand there crying, with my hands passing through yours, begging a soul that cannot hear me to come back home. Outro The lights stay on. The machines keep breathing. You don't move. I stay beside you. And for the first time, I understand that screaming doesn't always mean someone will hear you. So I whisper instead— “Please… keep your heart beating.” (ahaaaa)
