Stay until the morning

Lyrics

Verse 1 You always knew just what to say, How to pull me close without a promise. Your hands could quiet every doubt, Your eyes could make a lie look honest. You’d kiss me like tomorrow mattered, Like forever fit inside one night. I kept mistaking all that fire For something that could survive daylight. ⸻ Pre-Chorus You said, “Don’t think so much.” So I stopped asking why. ⸻ Chorus If you’re gonna pull me into your world, Hold me like I’m more than a heartbeat. Don’t make me feel like I’m the only one alive, Then disappear with the sunrise. Don’t tell me I’m beautiful If you only love the way I leave the lights. I wanted someone to stay until morning… You just wanted the night. ⸻ Verse 2 I’d memorize the way you’d breathe, The silence hanging after every laugh. I’d search your face for something deeper, While you were living in the moment we had. I would’ve learned every scar, Every dream you never spoke aloud. You never wanted all of me… Just enough to drown the quiet. ⸻ Pre-Chorus Every goodbye sounded temporary. Only one of us believed it. ⸻ Chorus If you’re gonna pull me into your world, Hold me like I’m more than a heartbeat. Don’t make me feel like I’m the only one alive, Then disappear with the sunrise. Don’t tell me I’m beautiful If you only love the way I leave the lights. I wanted someone to stay until morning… You just wanted the night. ⸻ Bridge (soft) Funny how a body can remember What a heart is trying to forget. I still catch myself reaching For someone… Who was only ever reaching for me. ⸻ Final Chorus (bigger) If you’re gonna look at me like that, Don’t leave me wondering what it meant. Don’t make forever fit inside a single room If you’re walking out the door again. You loved the way I made you feel. I loved the person I thought you were. Guess we were both chasing something… Only mine had your name. And yours… Never had mine.
