Atonement - Don't Pick Up Lyrics

It's been a long, dark night, can't see the light of day
You're drowning in the silence, and there's nothing left to say
You're holding onto secrets, like they're the only friends you've got
But you don't have to carry this, I wish you'd just stop
When the world's too heavy, and you're sinking in the deep
When the shadows whisper, and they're stealing all your sleep
You think you're all alone, that nobody cares
But I'm right here beside you, wish you'd be aware
Don't pick up, don't make that call
You're stronger than the voices that want to see you fall
Don't pick up, just hold on tight
I'm here to be the shoulder to lean on tonight
Don't pick up, you're not alone
Even when you feel like there's no place left to go
Don't pick up, please just stay
There's so much left for you to say
I see the pain you're hiding, the scars you don't reveal
But you don't have to fight this on your own, it's okay to feel
I know it's hard to open up when everything's a mess
But letting someone in could be your way to rest
When the tears are falling, and your heart's about to break
When the darkness calls you, making promises it can't take
You think you're on your own, like there's no way out
But I'm right here beside you, just scream or shout
Don't pick up, don't make that call
You're stronger than the voices that want to see you fall
Don't pick up, just hold on tight
I'm here to be the shoulder to lean on tonight
Don't pick up, you're not alone
Even when you feel like there's no place left to go
Don't pick up, please just stay
There's so much left for you to say
The world can be cruel, and life can be tough
But you're worth the fight, even when it's rough
So don't you dare give in, don't you fade away
There's another sunrise waiting, just one more day
Don't pick up, don't make that call
You're stronger than the voices that want to see you fall
Don't pick up, just hold on tight
I'm here to be the shoulder to lean on tonight
Don't pick up, you're not alone
Even when you feel like there's no place left to go
Don't pick up, please just stay
There's so much left for you to say
Don't pick up, I'm here with you
Together we'll make it through.
