Lyrics
[Intro]
(Verse 1)
The coffee's cold upon the table
The silence is louder than a scream
I'm trying to wake up from this nightmare
But I'm stuck inside the dream
I used to be the strong one
The one who held the line
But the ground is shifting under me
And I'm running out of time
(Pre-Chorus)
I see your hand upon the doorknob
I see the hesitation in your eyes
You think I'm pushing you away
But I'm just paralyzed
By the shadow in the corner
That I don't know how to fight
(Chorus)
So don't leave me now when I need you more
I'm shaking down to my very core
I'm facing something I've never faced before
No, I haven't seen this darkness on the floor
So don't let go, don't walk away
Don't let the night swallow up the day
Just stand right here, don't say a word
Please don't leave, I need to be heard
Don't leave me now when I need you more
(Verse 2)
I've weathered storms and broken bones
I've healed from cuts I couldn't see
But this is different, this is colder
It's a lock without a key
It isn't about anger
It isn't about pride
It's the feeling of the water rising
With nowhere left to hide
(Pre-Chorus)
So put your hand back on my shoulder
Don't turn around to face the hall
I know I'm heavy right now
But I promise I won't fall
If you just anchor me again
(Chorus)
'Cause don't leave me now when I need you more
I'm shaking down to my very core
I'm facing something I've never faced before
No, I haven't seen this darkness on the floor
So don't let go, don't walk away
Don't let the night swallow up the day
Just stand right here, don't say a word
Please don't leave, I need to be heard
Don't leave me now when I need you more
(Bridge)
If you walk out that door
I don't know who I am anymore
If you fade into the grey
I might not make it to the day
So breathe with me
Just breathe with me
That's all I ask
That's all I need
(Guitar/Instrumental Solo - Emotional and Soaring)
(Chorus)
Oh, don't leave me now when I need you more
I'm shaking down to my very core
I'm facing something I've never faced before
No, I haven't seen this darkness on the floor
So don't let go, don't walk away
Don't let the night swallow up the day
Just stand right here, don't say a word
Please don't leave, I need to be heard
Don't leave me now when I need you moreDon't walk away
Not today
I've never faced this...

Just stay
Just stay
Don't leave me now.
