LET ME RETURN THE LIGHT

You say you're fine, but I know that's not true,

Kau jawab sepatah, lepas tu terus diam.

I don't need you to tell me what you're going through,

Aku boleh nampak kau tengah cuba tahan.

You laugh when I ask, “What's wrong with you lately?”

Lepas tu kau cakap, “Nothing, I'm just tired.”

But I've known you long enough to know when you're faking,

Kau bukan okay—you just don't wanna talk about it.

Lately you don't talk the way you used to,

Dulu cerita semua benda, sekarang banyak yang kau simpan.

You laugh with everybody, then suddenly go quiet,

Macam ada benda dalam kepala yang kau tak boleh lepaskan.

You say you need space, so I give you some,

Tapi jangan expect aku terus percaya semuanya fine.

You disappear whenever the bad days come,

Then come back acting like nothing crossed your mind.

Maybe you're scared I'll see you differently,

Bila semua benda yang kau sorok mula nampak.

Maybe you think your problems will get heavy on me,

So you push me away before I get the chance to stay.

You don't have to say you're okay tonight,

Aku dah tahu bila suara kau berubah.

If you can't find the words, just stay in the quiet,

Tak perlu explain—aku masih ada dekat sini.

Let me return the light,

You gave me yours when I couldn't find mine.

I don't wanna fix you, I don't wanna change you,

I just wanna stay when the day feels impossible.

Remember when my parents passed away?

Masa tu aku macam hilang arah sepenuhnya.

You came around almost every single day,

Kadang bawa cerita bodoh just to make me laugh.

You knew I wasn't ready to talk about it,

So you never pushed, never asked me why.

Kadang kita duduk diam, scroll through our phones a bit,

Tapi dengan kau, malam tu terasa less heavy somehow.

You'd send some stupid meme at two in the morning,

Just enough to pull a smile out of me.

Tak pernah cakap “you'll get over it by morning,”

Kau cuma ada—and that meant everything to me.

So don't tell me you're doing this for my sake,

Jangan guna “aku cuma nak protect you” lagi.

If staying beside you is a choice I wanna make,

Then let me make it—you don't have to choose for me.

You don't have to say you're okay tonight,

Aku dah tahu bila suara kau berubah.

If you can't find the words, just stay in the quiet,

Tak perlu explain—aku masih ada dekat sini.

Let me return the light,

You gave me yours when I couldn't find mine.

I don't wanna fix you, I don't wanna change you,

I just wanna stay when the day feels impossible.

You got this habit—everything stays unspoken,

Kau telan balik ayat yang hampir keluar dari mulut.

One bad thought turns into five by the morning,

Then you wonder why you're tired before the day begins.

You make it sound simple—“I'm just not myself,”

Padahal aku nampak kau makin jauh dari semua benda.

You keep your feelings somewhere nobody can reach,

Then blame yourself when you don't know how to deal with them.

I won't pretend that love can fix what hurts,

Cinta bukan ubat untuk semua yang kau lalui.

Some days might need more than just my words,

Kalau kau perlukan bantuan, aku tetap sokong dari sini.

Aku tak nak jadi satu-satunya tempat kau berpaut,

You need more than one person when things get rough.

Aku cuma nak kau stop deciding I'm better off without you,

Sebab kau tak pernah buat aku rasa macam beban dulu.

You made me laugh when I forgot how to,

Masa dunia aku rasa kosong dan tak familiar.

You stayed without asking me to become someone new,

Tak pernah paksa aku cepat-cepat kembali normal.

So maybe that's all I wanna give you tonight,

Bukan jawapan, bukan janji semuanya akan pulih.

Just a little space where you don't have to hide,

And someone who won't disappear when things get difficult.

Let me return the light,

You gave me yours when I couldn't find mine.

I don't wanna fix you, I don't wanna change you,

I just wanna stay when the day feels impossible.

Let me return the light,

You gave me yours when I couldn't find mine.

I don't wanna fix you, I don't wanna change you,

I just wanna stay when the day feels impossible.

You gave me yours when I had none to spare,

Kau buat aku senyum waktu aku lupa caranya.

So if you're struggling, you don't have to disappear,

Aku takkan paksa kau sembuh—

aku cuma tak nak kau hadap semua ni seorang diri.
