[Verse]
Thunder on the window, I can't sleep.
Streetlight bleeding through the sheets.
I got your name stuck in my throat.
In other words, I should have spoke.
[Pre chor]
I came home wet with my own mistakes.
Trying to hide what the dark can't take.
[Verse]
I'm on the edge of your doorway, shaking.
Hands full of sorry, heart still breaking.
I was proud, I was loud, I was wrong.
I let the silence drag on too long.
[Verse]
Now the sky turns violet over these blocks.
And I'm scared of the sound of your lock.
I hear the sirens falling away.
Like they're singing what I won't say.
[Pre refrain]
I keep replaying every night.
Every cheap excuse, every little fight.
I touch your trucks with dirty hands.
Then ask you still understand.
If you still feel me in your chest.
Don't let this be the one it is.
I'm out of my knees my whole way.
Say it please before you walk away.
[Refrain]
Don't leave me out here in this purple sky.
Don't leave me drowning while the city cries.
Stay, stay.
Hold on tight.
Stay, stay.
Through the rain tonight.
I'm begging you stay.
Don't turn away.
Stay, stay.
Teach my heart to play.
[Verse]
I know I made you learn to down.
Made you love me with the lights out.
You wanna play like a second coat.
While I acted like I didn't know.
Though every drop on the asphalt sings.
[Verse]
And every flash from the traffic steams.
Your face is there in every pain.
In every reflection in the train.
I see the man I swore I'd be.
And the man you got instead of me.
{Pre refrain]If mercy is real.
Let it start right here.
Let it wash his fear.
But though we say what I can't undo.
But there ain't me on this, let me tell the truth
[Bridge]
I don't want clean, I won't change.
I don't know time, I won't grace.
[Final refrain]
Don't leave me out here if this breath was gone.
Don't leave me drowning by the city cries.
Stay, stay, stay.
Hold on tight.
Stay, stay, stay.
Through the rain tonight.
I'm begging you stay.
Don't turn away.
Stay, stay, stay.
Teach my heart to play.
Don't turn away.
Don't take my name.
Hold on.
Don't take my name.
Tonight.
Don't take my name.
[Final verse]
If you open up that door for me.
I lay my pride down in the street.
I let the lightning see my shame.
Call me out by my rear.
And if you can't, I'll understand.
But I can't stop reaching for your hand.
[Solo]
Don't leave me out here if this breath was gone.
Don't leave me drowning by the city cries.
