Prompt:

[Verse 1] I kept your note in my coat Bent and soft at the seam Smelled like rain on the train And your hand in my sleeve You said, “Don’t close that door” So I left it cracked Now every little thing I lose Brings your shadow back [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to be strong Tried to play it cool But I still hear you When the room goes quiet [Chorus] Stay with me Stay with me Don’t let the dark take you from me Stay with me Stay with me You were the spark in my memory [Verse 2] There’s a mug by the sink With a chip on the lip I still set it two inches left Like your last fingertip Got your old blue cap On the hook by the door I reach for it by habit Then I want you more [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to be strong Tried to play it cool But I still hear you When the room goes quiet [Chorus] Stay with me Stay with me Don’t let the dark take you from me Stay with me Stay with me You were the spark in my memory [Bridge] If I called out your name Would the ceiling hold? Would the walls give back What I never told? I was brave for a while Then the truth came through I don’t miss the whole world I just miss you [Final Chorus] Stay with me Stay with me Don’t let the dark take you from me Stay with me Stay with me You were the spark in my memory Stay with me Stay with me I’m still holding what used to be Stay with me Stay with me Come back soft and heartfully
