[Intro] I left the lights on inside my empty room just to remember I was still alive The city never asks what I was running from it only keeps moving and I keep moving too [Verse 1] I see my face in every window passing by a stranger wearing someone else's eyes I said I'm fine until I almost believed it then the silence came back and I couldn't breathe it All of the words I swallowed every night are turning into static underneath the neon light [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I'm afraid of what I'll find when there is nothing left to hide Maybe the person I've been trying to save was never anyone but me [Chorus] STAY AWAKE Don't let the night erase you STAY AWAKE Even if the sky falls through I know I'm broken I know I'm late I know I've lost more than I can take But if I'm still breathing then I'm not done yet STAY AWAKE STAY AWAKE [Verse 2] I walked for hours with nowhere left to go the rain kept falling like it already knew Every mistake was following behind me but I stopped running for the first time There was a voice somewhere inside the noise not telling me to win just telling me "Don't disappear." [Pre-Chorus 2] Maybe I'm afraid of morning light because it shows me who I am Maybe the scars I tried to hide are proof that I was here [Chorus] STAY AWAKE Don't let the night erase you STAY AWAKE Even if your hands shake too I know I'm lonely I know I'm afraid I know some memories will never fade But if I'm still breathing then I'm not done yet STAY AWAKE STAY AWAKE [Quiet Interlude] If I close my eyes will everything disappear? If I stop moving will anyone remember? I don't need an answer I just need one more night One more night to become someone I can forgive [Build] So turn the noise up Let it tear through me Turn the lights up Let me see everything I don't wanna run I don't wanna hide If this is my night Then I'll stay alive [Final Chorus] STAY AWAKE Don't let the night erase you STAY AWAKE I'm still here, I'm still breaking through I lost my way but I found my voice I can't go back but I still have a choice And if tomorrow doesn't know my name I'll scream it louder until it does the same STAY AWAKE STAY AWAKE I'm still here I'm still alive [Instrumental Outro] Stay awake Stay awake Stay awake
