I know that it's hard right now

&I know it seems dark right now

I know that pain must feel pretty good right now

Colder than you'd ever thought you'd be

I know that it looks tempting to pick up that knife

That rope, that pill, that everything in sight

But just, just for a minute, please wait & see

Listen to your own heart beat

Chorus: Don't let me lose you to the panic

Don't let me lose you to the fear

Don't let me lose you to the demons

That whisper in your ear

I don't want to sit next to your gravestone

Thinking about those memories we lost

Thinking about the emptiness inside me

Think about all the beauty that we'd see

Just you & me

Please stay with me

(2) The scars on your arm that still are healing

Wounds that run deeper than your knife

Just lay back, think of the stars on your ceiling

& know that I'm here for you all my life

Chorus

Bridge: Some scars you can touch

Some blood you can feel

But the scars deep inside your heart

I swear they can heal

No heart is too hard, & no soul is too dark

To be loved, loved, loved

Chorus

Please stay with me. 

author's note: sometimes I go back and read the beautiful things you've written me and I wonder where we went wrong. you were one of the only good things in my life, and loving you came so damn easy. it was so fucking easy to fall head over heels in love with you. and we had such good times, sara. everything we did together was heaven sent and you were everything I had ever needed. I don't know what happened. I just know that you haven't spoken to me in years. I wish I knew what I did wrong. I wish I knew why you left me. I wish I could have at least told you how much you meant to me. I hope you're okay, wherever you are now. and I wish nothing but the best for you and Oliver.
