This is the English language version of the Russian song I wrote for the popular TV drama "Pregnancy Test 2". It aired in Russia in December 2019. The original Russian language version is very different lyrically from this one, because it was specifically written for a plot twist in the story. (Russian version here: elizaveta.bandcamp.com/track/2 )
This version of lyrics came about because I faced some depression earlier in 2020 due to Covid, and most my concerts having been canceled, so it's very much about that. A friend of mine also committed suicide, and many friends have been struggling with their mental health.
lyrics
If I were strong
I’d buy us time
Breathe in
Let’s run
We’ll make it to the finish line
I’m tired of waiting
Afraid of what’s ahead
My screams are silent now
I don’t know what I said
Reach out to me
I need to know if I can feel
If we’re both here
Then maybe fear isn’t real
If I am seen
Then maybe I can carry on
And try to heal
Because it’s loneliness that kills
That empty hollow place
Where nothing good could live
Don’t lock me out
Don’t let me down
I’m just too close to letting go
Please hear me out
Before I drown
Forgive my weakness
I’m so sorry
I can’t take it anymore
I’ll hold your hand
And we will run
Until the night is at our door
