Verse 1 I came home with shaking hands, with the city still under my skin. Every word they threw at me kept echoing from within. The hallway felt too narrow, the silence felt too loud. I took off all my armor and let it hit the ground. Pre-Chorus I don’t need a reason, I don’t need to be brave. Tonight I only need a quiet place to break. Chorus Hold me until morning, don’t ask me to explain. I have been carrying thunder inside a body full of rain. Hold me until morning, until the room turns blue. If the world keeps getting colder, let me stay here close to you. Verse 2 I tried to keep my voice soft, tried to leave the fire outside. But kindness has a border, and mine was crossed tonight. I am tired of being gentle where the knives are never clean. I am tired of smiling through the things I should have screamed. Pre-Chorus 2 I don’t need an answer, I don’t need to be right. Just pull me from the wreckage and keep me through the night. Chorus Hold me until morning, don’t ask me to explain. I have been carrying thunder inside a body full of rain. Hold me until morning, until the room turns blue. If the world keeps getting colder, let me stay here close to you. Bridge I know I look unbroken, but I am barely here. All the doors inside me are shaking from the fear. So if I start to tremble, don’t turn the lights up bright. Just keep your arms around me until I remember light. Final Chorus Hold me until morning, don’t ask me to be strong. I have been holding back the ocean for far too long. Hold me until morning, until the dark moves through. If I can’t face the sunrise, let me borrow warmth from you. Hold me until morning, don’t let me disappear. The world was sharp and heavy, but I am safe in here. Outro Hold me until morning. Hold me until morning. No words. Just stay.
