[Intro] [clean electric guitar eighth-note rhythm, bass, and drums enter] [Verse 1] [soft male vocals] I hear you whisper in the dark A shadow soft, a quiet spark You hold my hand, you pull me back Afraid that I might lose my track You speak in echoes, doubts, and pain Reminding me of past mistakes again But love, we don't live there anymore The past can't touch us like before [Chorus] [full band, driving energy, belted vocals] Oh, you are safe, you are free You don't have to run, don't have to leave Stay with me, I'll hold you close You're not alone, I need you most You've been my armor, my heavy chain Trying to shield me from the rain [Verse 2] [drums drop to a simpler pattern] But storms still come and winds still blow And fear, my love, it's time to go Not to vanish, not to hide But to walk with me side by side No more battle, no more war Just trust that we are something more [Chorus] [full band, layered vocal harmonies] Oh, you are safe, you are free You don't have to run, don't have to leave Stay with me, I'll hold you close You're not alone, I need you most You've been my armor, my heavy chain Trying to shield me from the rain But storms still come and winds still blow And fear, my love, it's time to go Not to vanish, not to hide But to walk with me side by side No more battle, no more war Just trust that we are something more [Bridge] [piano enters, drums drop out] Oh, you are safe, you are free You don't have to run, don't have to leave Stay with me, I'll hold you close You're not alone, I need you most [drums and guitar build up] You've been my armor, I need you most [Outro] [driving rhythm returns] Let's take a step, just one today No need to rush, we'll find our way And if you tremble, if you cry I'll remind you, so will I So rest, my love, no need to fight We'll learn to dance in soft light You don't have to fade, don't disappear You are seen, you belong here [vocal ad-libs] You've been my armor, I need you most You've been my armor, my heavy chain [final guitar chord rings out]
