Verse 1 I can hear you crying somewhere beside my bed. I know the sound of your voice. I know every word you said. You tell me that you love me. You tell me to come home. And God, I wish I could answer. I wish I wasn't alone. But my lips won't move. My fingers won't bend. I'm trapped inside this silence, and I don't know how to make it end. Verse 2 I hear you hold my hand. I feel nothing, but I know. I try to squeeze your fingers. I try to let you know. I scream inside my body, "I'm here, I'm listening." But nothing leaves my mouth. Not even a whisper. You tell me about our memories. You tell me about our home. And I keep trying to wake up, but I can't make myself come home. Pre-Chorus If you could hear my thoughts, you'd know I'm still fighting. I'm trying. I'm trying so hard. But my body doesn't listen to the person trapped inside my heart. Chorus I'm sorry I can't answer. I'm sorry I can't move. I'm sorry you have to sit here and wonder what I'm going through. I hear every "I love you." I hear every broken prayer. I want to tell you I'm still here, but you don't know I'm there. I'm screaming your name with everything I have. But all you hear is the silence of this room. Verse 3 You talk about tomorrow like I'm going to be there. You say we'll grow old together. You brush the hair from my face. And I want to open my eyes more than I've ever wanted anything. But the darkness holds me still. I try. Again. Again. Again. Nothing. Bridge Please don't think I left you. Please don't think I stopped loving you. I'm right here. I hear you. I remember you. I love you. I just can't reach you anymore. And I'm so sorry. Final Chorus I'm sorry I can't wake up. I'm sorry I can't come home. I'm sorry your hands are holding mine while I still feel so far away. If tears could speak, you'd hear everything I'm saying. If my heart could talk, it would call your name. I would tell you I'm trying. I would tell you I'm scared. I would tell you that none of this is your fault. But my lips won't move. My eyes won't open. And all I can do is listen to you crying while I disappear somewhere you cannot follow. Outro So stay a little longer. Talk to me. Tell me about our life. Tell me about the little things. I'll listen. Even if you never know that I'm listening. And if one day you stop holding my hand, I hope you know I never let go. I just couldn't move. I just couldn't speak. I just couldn't wake up. But I was there. Every second. Listening to you say, "I love you." And wishing, with everything left inside me, that I could say it back.
