[Intro – barely a whisper, single guitar note repeating] I don't deserve you I know, I know But I can't let go I can't let go [Verse 1 – hushed, slow, each line lands like a confession] Remember your face in the passenger seat I was so broken I couldn't speak You touched my hand like it wasn't a wreck Like I wasn't something you should forget [breath] I still hate myself for needing you like that [Pre-Chorus – melody climbs, tension building, raw] And I know I'm poison I know, I know But you keep choosing Me, why, I don't know Stay or go Stay or go [whispered: please stay] [Chorus – vocals crack open, harmonies underneath like a wound] I found God in the way you looked at me But I buried Him somewhere I can't reach You were light and I was just the dark You were whole and I was falling apart Falling apart [background: "I love you, I love you, I'm sorry"] [Verse 2 – more intensity, almost spoken, then melodic] I put walls up, you climbed every one I pushed you out just to see if you'd run You didn't run [pause] Why didn't you run Now I'm standing here with nothing to give And you're the only reason I want to live [spoken softly: that's not fair to you, I know] [Pre-Chorus – voice breaks slightly] And I know I'm poison I know, I know But you keep choosing Me, why, I don't know Stay or go Stay or go [whispered: please stay] [Chorus – fuller now, harmonies stack and swell] I found God in the way you looked at me But I buried Him somewhere I can't reach You were light and I was just the dark You were whole and I was falling apart Falling apart [background: "I love you, I love you, I'm sorry"] [Bridge – raw, almost spoken word, stripped to nothing] I don't know how to love without breaking things I don't know how to stay without abandoning But when you're next to me the noise goes quiet And I swear I'd bleed out just to buy it Just one more moment Just one more moment [Outro – guitar fades, vinyl hiss, voice alone] Don't leave Don't leave I know I'm the reason you should Don't leave [silence]
