Midnight to Morning

You call me up, midnight tone

Like I’m the light when you feel alone

But by sunrise, I fade like smoke

Another game, another joke

You pull me in, whisper close

Say my name like it’s tattooed on your soul

But tomorrow, I’m back to a shadow

Stuck between yes and no

Not a promise, not a home

Just a maybe you can’t let go

I'm caught in the gray, midnight to morning

You set me on fire, then leave me burning

One step in, one step gone

I can't keep waiting, I'm already done

Some nights, I breathe you in

Other nights, it’s cold beneath your skin

Your touch is warm when you let it be

But your heart still holds the key

I ask, Are we real? you say, Slow it down

But love ain’t meant to stop, it’s a proud crown

I'm caught in the gray midnight to morning

You set me on fire, then leave me burning

One step in, one step gone

I can't keep waiting, I’m already done

I could leave, I could ruin

Find someone who won’t come undone

But your almost-love still pulls me back

Like a ghost in the dark, no turning back

Tell me now, are we lost or found?

Do I stay, or turn around?

Love ain't a waiting game,

And I’m done standing in the rain.
