Stay With Me

The bed feels like an ocean
Since you moved to the other shore
I still sleep curled to the corner
Like my body's keeping score
Your toothbrush standing soldier
Next to mine inside the glass
Two lives still pressed together
In a bathroom mirror's past

And we're under the same ceiling
But we're living miles apart
Same address, different planets
Same apartment, different hearts

Don't become a stranger
Wearing someone that I know
Don't become a silence
In a house that used to glow
I can hear your heartbeat
Through the walls you built tonight
Just put your hand against the door
And I'll put mine on the other side

You made your coffee without asking
If I wanted mine today
Such a small and quiet cruelty
That took my breath away
We eat at the same table
But your eyes don't find my face
Like loving me's a language
That you're trying to erase

And I'm watching us in slow motion
Like a movie with no sound
Two people slowly drowning
In a house where love was found

Don't become a stranger
Wearing someone I know
Don't become a silence
In a house that used to glow
I can hear your heartbeat
Through the walls you built tonight
Just put your hand against the door
And I'll put mine on the other side

I found our wedding photos
Hidden underneath your drawer
Not thrown away, just buried
Like you couldn't face them anymore
And that gave me something tiny
Like a match inside a storm
You didn't burn the memories
That means something's still warm

Don't become a stranger
Wearing someone I know
Don't become a silence
In a house that used to glow

I heard you crying in the shower
You turned the water up so loud
Remember when the power went out
And we danced without a song
Remember when the world was heavy
But together we were strong
I'm not asking you to fix this
I'm not asking you to try
I'm just asking you to sit with me
And not say goodbye
Don't say, goodbye
We don't even need to talk tonight
Just breathe beside me one more time

You're not a stranger, darling
You're the only face I know
You're not the like the silence, baby
You're the reason this house glows
I can feel your heartbeat
Through every wall we built tonight
So, put your hand against my chest now
And I swear we'll be alright
