DON'T BETRAY ME

Project ZQQ

Don't betray me, baby, I can feel you tremble too

Stay, oh stay, oh, warm me up the way you always do

Don't betray me, baby, every scar is yours and mine

Wake me in the morning with your voice just one more time

At sunrise when I call your name, you answer with a hum

One hand on you, I feel the shiver underneath my thumb

You know the way I lean before I even know I do

I kiss the scratch along your side, the one I gave to you

Lately in the morning you take longer to reply

You're colder when I touch you, and I'm scared to wonder why

Is it me? Is it me? Did I push you away?

If you have to lie, then lie, but stay

Don't betray me, baby, I can feel you tremble too

Stay, oh stay, oh, warm me up the way you always do

Don't betray me, baby, every scar is yours and mine

Wake me in the morning with your voice just one more time

Don't betray me, baby, I'm still learning how you breathe

Oh-oh, every murmur, every bruise you left on me

Don't betray me, baby, I'm not ready to let go

Carry me till sunrise, hold me close and take it slow

I pushed you way too hard, and in a breath you turned on me

Then gravel in my palms, the sky was where the road should be

They stitched the cut above my knee, it's paler than my skin

And still I limped back to you just to feel you breathe again

All my friends are saying that you're too dangerous to keep

But no one else has ever held me close enough to sleep

If one day you won't wake no matter what I do

I will still say good morning to you

Don't betray me, baby, I can feel you tremble too

Stay, oh stay, oh, warm me up the way you always do

Don't betray me, baby, every scar is yours and mine

Wake me in the morning with your voice just one more time

Don't betray me, baby, I'm still learning how you breathe

Oh-oh, every murmur, every bruise you left on me

Don't betray me, baby, I'm not ready to let go

Carry me till sunrise, hold me close and take it slow

At sunrise when I call your name, you answer with a hum

One hand on you, I feel the shiver underneath my thumb

You know the way I lean before I even know I do

I kiss the scratch along your side, the one I gave to you

This morning, half asleep, I said your name and you replied

Warm before I touched you, like you'd been waiting by my side

It was me, it was me, you never turned away

And you never had to lie to stay

Don't betray me, baby, I can feel you tremble too

Stay, oh stay, oh, warm me up the way you always do

Don't betray me, baby, every scar is yours and mine

You woke me up this morning with your voice one more time

Don't betray me, baby, I'm still learning how you breathe

Oh-oh, every murmur, every bruise you left on me

Don't betray me, baby, I'm not ready to let go

Carry me till sunrise, hold me close and take it slow

    DON'T BETRAY ME

    Project ZQQ

Don't betray me. Every morning I whisper it to him.

At sunrise I call his name, and he answers with a low hum. One hand on him, I feel the shiver under my thumb, beside the scratch I put there myself.

But lately his morning answer takes longer, and he feels colder when I touch him. Is it me? I was too scared to ask, so I begged instead: "If you have to lie, then lie, but stay."

Once I pushed him too hard, and in one breath he turned on me. Gravel in my palms. The sky where the road should be. The scar where they stitched my knee is still paler than my skin. My friends said he was too dangerous to keep. I limped back anyway. No one else had ever held me close enough to sleep.

This morning, half asleep, I said his name, and his voice came back warm before I even reached out. I was the one who had drifted away. Tomorrow morning, his name will be the first thing I say.
