Lyrics

Every word, written by AI.

Intro
[Warm Rhodes piano and gentle orchestral strings]
[Verse 1]
Everybody needs a little time away
To listen to the things we couldn't say
I never meant to let you down
Or turn your world upside down
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me now, don't let this feelin' fade
After all the promises we made
[Chorus]
It's hard to say I'm sorry, hard to make it right
I just want you to stay tonight
Hold me close and tell me that we'll find a way
We've come too far to walk away
[Verse 2]
I know we've had our share of rainy days
Lost inside a cold and silent maze
But every shadow falls behind
When I look into your eyes
[Bridge]
[Strings swell, dynamic buildup with brass section]
You're the one thing that I can't afford to lose
If I had to choose, I'd choose you every time...
[Guitar Solo]
[Expressive, soaring 80s electric guitar solo with driving drums]
[Chorus]
It's hard to say I'm sorry, hard to make it right
I just want you to stay tonight
Hold me close and tell me that we'll find a way
We've come too far to walk away
[Outro]
[Tempo picks up slightly, brass horns drive a energetic, rhythmic fade]
We can make it last...
Don't let it slip away...
Fade out with high-energy horn riffs
