[Intro]
In the hush of shadowed rooms I breathe your name like a prayer
The clock forgets its hurry, and so do I, breathing you there
[Verse 1]
I trace the space where your laughter used to spill, a pale glow in the dark
Counting breaths as if they were beads on a prayerful arc
The night leans close, its velvet hands want what we can’t say aloud
I hold the ache of wanting you here, somehow, somehow allowed
[Chorus]
If you stand beside me in the fading light, I won’t ask for dawn
We’ll share the slow, quiet minutes till the last one’s gone
Let memory be a soft weight, a stone that won’t slip away
In this final room, we stay, and we stay
[Verse 2]
Distant stars blink like old loves, distant but not gone
I whisper promises I’m not sure I can keep for long
The air grows thin, but your shadow eases the fear I wear
A fragile harbor where I’m safe to admit I’m still here
[Chorus]
If you stand beside me in the fading light, I won’t ask for dawn
We’ll share the slow, quiet minutes till the last one’s gone
Let memory be a soft weight, a stone that won’t slip away
In this final room, we stay, and we stay
[Bridge]
We’ve walked through nights where the sun forgot our names
And learned to speak in glimmers, to trust the small remains
If mercy is a breath between two hearts that ache,
Then let this moment be our proof we chose to stay
[Chorus]
If you stand beside me in the fading light, I won’t ask for dawn
We’ll share the slow, quiet minutes till the last one’s gone
Let memory be a soft weight, a stone that won’t slip away
In this final room, we stay, and we stay
[Outro]
So we linger with the light that’s almost gone, until it’s all we are
And in the quiet, maybe that’s enough, to remember who we are
