*[Verse 1 - Female, sweet & tender, close]* When the room gets too loud And your thoughts won't settle down You can lean on me tonight I won't let you fight alone *[Pre-Chorus - Male, dark & warm, joins]* I can see it in your eyes All the weight you hide inside You keep saying, "I'm okay" But the truth won't stay away *[Chorus - Both, Female lead, Male low harmony]* Female: Lean on me tonight Male: Lean on me... Female: Lean on me tonight Both: I won't let you break, I won't let you hide Female: Lean on me tonight Male: Lean on me... Female: Lean on me tonight Both: When the room gets loud, I'll be right beside *[Verse 2 - Male lead this time]* You don't have to wear that brave Like it's stitched into your name Even shadows fall apart When somebody knows the pain *[Pre-Chorus 2 - Together, overlapping, more urgent]* Female: I can see it in your eyes Male: Let me see inside Both: You keep saying, "I'm okay" But the truth won't stay away - let it out *[DROP / CHORUS 2 - Bigger, Anthemic]* Both: LEAN ON ME TONIGHT! Lean on me tonight! I won't let you break, I won't let you hide! Lean on me tonight! Lean on me tonight! When the room gets loud - I'll be right beside! Female: I got you! Male: I got you too! *[Bridge - Stripped, Heart of the song]* Female: If your hands start shaking... Male: If the floor feels far away... Female: Take my voice like anchor... Both: Let it guide you through the gray *[Final Chorus - Soft to HUGE]* Female: Lean on me tonight... Male: Lean on me tonight... Both: I won't let you break, I won't let you hide Lean on me tonight Lean on me tonight When the room gets loud I'll be right beside - always beside. *[Outro - Whisper]* Both: Lean on me.
