(yeah)
(holding my breath)

Every room feels smaller lately
Same fights, just different maybe
We keep dancing around the truth
Like silence won’t pull us through

I read your face like bad news
Try to fix things I can’t undo
I keep saying “we’re okay”
But it’s getting harder to stay

I’m worn thin trying to bend
Afraid of how this ends

If I stay, I’ll break
If I leave, I’ll ache
Either way I’m standing in the flames
I’ve held on till my hands shake
Gave more than I could take
Now every step feels like a mistake
I don’t know which way’s right
But I know I can’t fake
Another night if I stay

Your words hit softer than before
But they still land like war
We’re not cruel, just tired and worn
Trying not to see what we’ve become

I miss the way this used to feel
Before love learned how to hurt this real
I don’t want blame, I don’t want scars
Just don’t know where we are

I keep hoping something changes
But hope’s starting to feel dangerous

If I stay, I’ll break
If I leave, I’ll ache
Either way I’m standing in the flames
I’ve held on till my hands shake
Gave more than I could take
Now every step feels like a mistake
I don’t know which way’s right
But I know I can’t fake
Another night if I stay

Maybe love isn’t enough sometimes
Maybe timing’s just a crime
I don’t want to be your ghost
But I can’t keep bleeding hope

I’ve been strong past my limit
I’ve been quiet just to keep it
But silence is a losing game
When staying means breaking

If I stay, I’ll break
Feel myself erode away
If I leave, I’ll ache
But at least I’ll still be safe
I’ve held on till my hands shake
Gave more than I could take
I don’t know how this ends tonight
But I won’t live half-alive
I can’t survive another night
If I stay

(yeah)
I can’t stay…
