Stay Soft

Verse 1
The night is leaning on my chest
Quiet streets, I’m still awake
The window’s half-open
Air feels heavy, hard to breathe
The clock keeps moving forward
I’m stuck somewhere behind
A stubborn thought is sitting
Silent in the back of my mind
Pre-Chorus
I don’t wanna cry
I don’t wanna smile
I’m just standing still
For a little while
Chorus
Stay soft
This night knows my name
My sadness doesn’t hurt me
It just stays
Stay soft
If tomorrow’s late
Let tonight
Be a place
Where we breathe
Verse 2
Lights go out one by one
Streets feel like a memory
Everything is almost fine
But something’s missing in me
My hand is on my heartbeat
I swallow every sound
If I start to speak
This silence breaks down
Bridge
If something has to end
Let it fade away slow
Like the last light in a house
Nobody goes home to
Final Chorus (minimal)
Stay soft
This night will pass
Even if
I don’t
Stay soft
Sadness is just
A moment
Saying
“I’m here too
