Surrender Tonight – First Cut

Verse 1
Room feels smaller
Words still here
Two closed doors
Standing near

Kettle humming
Nothing said
Same old battle
In our heads

Pre chorus
I see it
You do too
We’re just tired
Me and you

Chorus
No more answers
No more right
Lay it down
Surrender tonight

No defence
No lines to fight
Your hand finds mine
Surrender tonight

Verse 2
Blame gets quiet
Voices slow
Distance fading
We don’t go

Still here standing
Still the same
Love is softer
Than the blame

Pre chorus
Nothing left
Left to prove
Just two people
Choosing you

Chorus
No more answers
No more right
Lay it down
Surrender tonight

No defence
No lines to fight
Your hand finds mine
Surrender tonight

Bridge (very minimal — important)
White flags
Kitchen light
Breathing
Side by side

Final outro
I’m tired
Enough
Come close

No words
No fight
I surrender tonight
