light still holds
(hummmmm) Some nights feel longer than they should,
Like the dark forgot how to be good.
Your thoughts get loud,
your heart feels small,
And asking for help feels like a fall.
You tell yourself you're just a weight,
That everyone else would be okay— But that's the lie the pain
will tell
When it wants you all to itself.
If you could see you the way I do,
You'd know this world still needs you too.
So stay, —just for tonight,
Let tomorrow borrow some light.
You don't have to solve it all,
You don't have to be strong at all.
Stay, breathe, hold on tight,
Even stars take time to shine.
This pain will change,
it won't always stay—
Please stay. (please stay) It's not weakness to feel this deep,
It's proof you care,
it's proof you feel.
You've survived things no one saw,
Silent battles, unseen wars.
You're not a burden,
not a mistake, You're a life that matters—make no mistake.
And even cracked hearts still can beat,
Still belong,
still deserve peace.
You don't have to walk alone tonight,
There are hands reaching for yours in the light.
So stay, just one more day,
Let the storm pass its loudest wave.
You don't need perfect words to say,
Just “I'm here” is enough today.
Stay, look up, breathe it in,
The sky still makes room for you to live.
This moment hurts, but it won't always stay—
Please stay. Talking saves lives,
silence steals, There is nothing shameful about how you feel.
Reach out, whisper, scream,
or cry, Let someone know you're still alive.
You are not alone in this fight,
Even if it feels like the end of the line.
Hope doesn't shout—it softly says,
“Come back to me again tomorrow.”
So stay, you matter here,
More than your darkest thoughts or fear.
The world is better with you in it,
Even when you can't feel it.
Stay, stay—hear me say,
You are wanted, you are loved this way.
The night will break,
the sun will rise— And I want you here to see that
light. (see that light)
If all you do is survive today,
That is brave in every way.
Stay, You are needed (stay...)
