Midnight breathing down my neck,

city lights blur into silver haze.

I’m walking slow through all this noise,

but somehow I still feel erased.

Empty streets echo back my doubts,

every shadow feels like something lost.

I tried to keep my heart locked down,

but your name keeps breaking through the frost.

I’m pretending I don’t miss you,

like I’m fine on my own tonight.

But every window shows your silhouette,

flickering in neon light.

I’ve been holding on so tightly,

trying not to fall apart.

But every time the night gets quiet,

I can hear you in my heart.

Don’t walk away,

stay just a little closer to me.

Don’t let me fall tonight—

this city cuts so cold and lonely.

Tell me you need me,

even if the words can barely breathe.

You’re the only light I see,

so don’t leave me… please stay with me.

Coffee cup on my windowsill,

cooling down like all my plans.

I keep hoping you’ll just show up—

call my name the way you used to then.

I’ve been drowning in the distance,

reaching out but touching air.

Funny how the strongest memories

are the ones that feel unfair.

If I said I didn’t need you,

that would only be a lie.

Every fear I try to swallow

finds your shadow by my side.

Hold me like the world is fading,

like you still remember us.

Trace the outline of my heartbeat

’til the silence turns to trust.

I don’t want another sunrise

without your warmth against my skin.

If the night is all we’re given,

let me fall and fall again.

Don’t walk away,

stay just a little closer to me.

Don’t let me break tonight—

this loneliness keeps cutting deeper.

Tell me you need me,

say the words I’m scared to believe.

You’re the only light I see,

so don’t leave me… stay with me, please.

Stay with me…

’til the city loses all its cold.

Stay with me…

you’re the only warmth I hold.
