[Verse 1] You look at me sideways Like I came to test you But I brought you patience And a jacket full of rescue Claws in the wallpaper Pace by the doorway I know that wild heart When it can't find a safe place I don't want your fear I want your real name Paws on my chest now Still I keep the same game [Pre-Chorus] Lean in, don't run Let the room go soft I know that storm in you I know what it cost [Chorus] I stand in front of you Not as a cat As a friend (as a friend) I stand in front of you No scratch, no trap Just a friend (just a friend) I stand in front of you Hear what I meant I stand in front of you As a friend (as a friend) [Verse 2] You dropped your guard once When the rain hit hard I saw your whole truth In the porch light scar No more hiding teeth No more fake calm We both know the silence Can be a dead-end bomb So I speak plain Keep my hands open You can call me chaos But I come with devotion [Pre-Chorus] Lean in, don't run Let the room go soft I know that storm in you I know what it cost [Chorus] I stand in front of you Not as a cat As a friend (as a friend) I stand in front of you No scratch, no trap Just a friend (just a friend) I stand in front of you Hear what I meant I stand in front of you As a friend (as a friend) [Bridge] If you need space I will hold that line If you need proof Look in my eyes We can be untamed And still stay kind We can be honest And still be mine [Chorus] I stand in front of you Not as a cat As a friend (as a friend) I stand in front of you No scratch, no trap Just a friend (just a friend) I stand in front of you Hear what I meant I stand in front of you As a friend (as a friend)
