V5.5

Verse 1

Come here, love, your hands are shaking
I can hear the room got loud
You don’t have to make it pretty
You don’t have to tell me how

There are names that feel like weather
There are doors that look like home
There are arms that learn your softness
Just to leave you more alone

Pre-Chorus

But the wound was never shameful
And the shame was never yours
You were only trying to open
After years of locked-up doors

Chorus

I know this place
I’ve been here too
Where the dark gets big
And the heart forgets what’s true

You don’t have to be brave with me
You don’t have to shine
Your goodness wasn’t wrong, love
It deserved safer hands than that
This time

Verse 2

You thought sunlight meant a shelter
You thought kindness meant a key
So you brought your hidden pieces
To a hand that couldn’t keep

Now you’re calling yourself foolish
For the way your hope survived
But the flower isn’t broken
For believing in the light

Pre-Chorus 2

And the river isn’t guilty
For the hands that tried to drown
You don’t have to punish softness
For the witness you found out

Chorus

I know this place
I’ve been here too
Where the dark gets big
And the heart forgets what’s true

You don’t have to be brave with me
You don’t have to shine
Your goodness wasn’t wrong, love
It deserved safer hands than that
This time

Bridge

Maybe I’m the older you
Maybe I’m the morning
Maybe I’m the hand you grew
When no one heard the warning

Maybe safe is not a person
Maybe safe can start within
Soft was never weak, love
It’s how the light gets in

Maybe I’m the room you built
From every night you made it through
Maybe I’m the voice that stayed
And learned how to come back to you

Final Chorus

I know this place
I carried you through
Every room that went dark
Every story untrue

You don’t have to be brave with me
You don’t have to hide
Your goodness wasn’t wrong, love
It was always still alive

I know this place
I’m here this time
With softer hands
And a steadier light

You don’t have to be brave with me
You don’t have to shine
Soft was never weak, love
It was how the light got in
This time

Outro

You are not alone here
Me too
I understand

Come back slow, love
Come back home
To safer hands
