[Verse 1] I still remember every city light Every crowded room where you held me tight You traced my name across a hotel page Said my songs could carry us through every stage I wrote you letters with a careful hand Promised you a life no one could understand Back then the world was only you and me And everyone else just faded beautifully [Pre-Chorus] But now you look at me like I’m a stranger Like the spotlight finally showed the danger I swear I’m trying to be that man again The one you loved before the world caved in [Chorus] Write me back, don’t let the silence win Tell me there’s a way to let me in I know you saw the shadow in my smile But I’d walk every ruined mile Write me back, don’t turn away tonight Tell me I can still make this feel right The cat who sang beneath those stage lights Still loves you in the dark tonight [Verse 2] I know I said some things I can’t erase I know you saw the hunger on my face But love is messy when the world is cruel And I was only trying not to lose You always said I had a fire inside A heart too big for me to ever hide Maybe it burned a little too bright But you were the only one who could survive the light [Pre-Chorus] So don’t you leave me with these empty pages Don’t make me haunt the ghosts of better ages I swear I’ll learn to hold you gently now If you just tell me how [Chorus] Write me back, don’t let the silence win Tell me there’s a way to let me in I know you saw the shadow in my smile But I’d walk every ruined mile Write me back, don’t turn away tonight Tell me I can still make this feel right The Cat who sang beneath those stage lights Still loves you in the dark tonight [Bridge] Maybe I was never as perfect as you believed Maybe I needed your love more than you needed me But doesn’t that prove how much I cared? I gave you every part of me I wanted you to see And if I lose you now, what will they say? That even the brightest star can fade away I can’t let that be the ending of my song So please, Tsani, prove me wrong [Final Chorus] Write me back, don’t let the silence stay Tell me there’s a road that leads us home someday I know you saw the shadow in my smile But I’d cross every ruined mile Write me back, don’t close the curtain yet Tell me I’m the love you can’t forget The Cat who sang beneath those stage lights Still loves you in the dark tonight [Outro] Write me back... Don’t make me sing alone tonight
