[Verse 1] Weight on my bones like a moonlit tide, Heat in my veins, I can’t hide the ache. No calm in my body, no lull inside, Every breath a hush that I didn’t make. I’ve wandered off, ran into the thorns, Bruises bloom where my pride once stayed. I sigh all day, worn and torn, Counting the seconds I’ve delayed. [Chorus] I admit what I’ve done— I’m not okay, I’m not alright. Don’t leave me alone, Stay near tonight. When I’m slipping again, Pull me back into Your light— Don’t leave me alone, Stay near tonight. [Verse 2] Friends keep their distance, lovers avert, Whispers follow like shadows on stone. They set their traps, hoping I’ll hurt; I go quiet, I stand alone. But I wait for You; You hear my cry, You will answer though I’m small. Don’t let them grin when I slide, Catch me before I fall. [Chorus] I admit what I’ve done— I’m not okay, I’m not alright. Don’t leave me alone, Stay near tonight. When I’m slipping again, Pull me back into Your light— Don’t leave me alone, Stay near tonight. [Bridge] My pain stays close like a restless tide, My wrongs are a weight I can’t deny. Run to me now, be at my side— You’re the rescue I can’t supply. [Verse 3] All my longings lie open to You, Every groan You already know. I choose the good; they hate it too, Still, I’ll wait while the embers glow. Be close, my Lord—don’t be far, Hold me steady through this night. Hurry to help—Morning Star, Keep me in Your sight. [Chorus] I admit what I’ve done— I’m not okay, I’m not alright. Don’t leave me alone, Stay near tonight. When I’m slipping again, Pull me back into Your light— Don’t leave me alone, Stay near tonight. [Outro] Stay near… stay near tonight.
