Before the next tear falls!

[Verse 1]
If you're standing on the edge of goodbye
With a word you don't want to say
Let it rest a little longer
Let the moment stay
I can hear it in the quiet
In the way you hold your breath
Like your heart is asking questions
Your lips haven't answered yet
Don't turn away so quickly
Don't let the silence decide
The still second between us
Before the tears arrive

[Chorus]
So if you're gonna leave me
Hold me just a little while
Let me be the last thing
You feel before you cry
Say what you need to say now
While your voice is still dry
Stay here with me
Before the next tear falls

[Verse 2]
There's a shadow in the doorway
Where your name still hangs
Like the echo of a promise
We never fully gave
I won't beg and I won't follow
I won't ask for more
Just don't let your heart break unheard and ignored

[Chorus]
If you're gonna leave me
Hold me just a little while
Let me be the last thing
You feel before you cry
Say what you need to say now
While your voice is still dry
Stay here with me
Before the next tear falls

[Bridge]
Love is only borrowed time
Let me spend the rest with you
One more truth, one last look
Before the blue

[Chorus]
If you're gonna leave me
Hold me just a little while
Let me be the last thing
You feel before you cry
Say what you need to say now
While your voice is still dry
Stay here with me
Before the next tear falls

[Outro]
