Don’t Make It Alone

Paroles de « Don’t Make It Alone »

ONE! TWO!
ONE-TWO-THREE—

DON’T GO!

You say the ceiling knows your name
And every shadow sounds the same
The hallway stretches when you blink
The room gets smaller when you think

You make a joke and check the door
Say, “I’ve felt like this before”
But every sentence sounds like leaving
I hear the words beneath your breathing

I won’t swear the sun will save us
I won’t lie and call this fate
If the dark has learned your address
I will meet it at the gate

IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT—
DON’T MAKE IT ALONE!

I’LL SIT WITH EVERY GHOST YOU HAVE
UNTIL THEY ALL GO HOME!

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SWEAR TO ME
THAT YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT—

JUST DON’T DISAPPEAR ON ME
BEFORE THE MORNING LIGHT!

NOT ALONE!
(NOT ALONE!)

STAY UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON!

NOT ALONE!
(NOT ALONE!)

DON’T MAKE IT ALONE!

I know the code inside “I’m tired”
The phone facedown, the room gone quiet
The little jokes you use to spare me
Like loneliness was yours to carry

No courtroom speech, no grand defense
You don’t have to make it make sense
Just leave the door unlocked tonight
I’m already on your side

I can’t drag the dawn in faster
I can’t make the fever break
But I can make a little noise here
Till the silence starts to shake

IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT—
DON’T MAKE IT ALONE!

I’LL SIT WITH EVERY GHOST YOU HAVE
UNTIL THEY ALL GO HOME!

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SWEAR TO ME
THAT YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT—

JUST DON’T DISAPPEAR ON ME
BEFORE THE MORNING LIGHT!

You don’t owe me an explanation

You don’t owe the world a smile

You don’t have to beat the darkness

Just outlive it for a while

If all you have is one breath

Then one breath is enough tonight

Breathe.

Are you with me?

I’m still here.

ONE!
TWO!
ONE-TWO-THREE—

IF WE CAN’T MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT—
WE WON’T MAKE IT ALONE!

BRING EVERY GHOST WE’VE EVER HAD—
WE’LL DANCE THEM ALL BACK HOME!

NO, WE DON’T HAVE TO SWEAR
THAT WE’LL EVER BE ALRIGHT—

WE JUST HAVE TO STAY RIGHT HERE
UNTIL THE MORNING LIGHT!

IF WE CAN’T MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT—
WE WON’T MAKE IT ALONE!

BRING EVERY GHOST WE’VE EVER HAD—
WE’LL DANCE THEM ALL BACK HOME!

NO, WE DON’T HAVE TO SWEAR
THAT WE’LL EVER BE ALRIGHT—

WE JUST HAVE TO STAY RIGHT HERE
UNTIL THE MORNING LIGHT!

DON’T MAKE IT ALONE!
(DON’T MAKE IT ALONE!)

DON’T MAKE IT ALONE!
(DON’T MAKE IT ALONE!)

IF ALL WE HAVE IS ONE MORE BREATH—

THEN BREATHE IT WITH US!

Don’t make it alone.
