Safe

Verse 1 I’ve known love that slammed like a screen door Left me standing in the dust Every promise came with a warning Every touch was built on rush I got used to walking on edges Waiting on the fall Thought if it didn’t shake me to my bones It wasn’t love at all Chorus But you don’t raise your voice to be heard Don’t leave me hanging on your words You don’t turn away when it gets hard You just stay right where you are And it’s strange how something this right Don’t keep me up in a fight No, it don’t hurt like I thought it would I’m finally safe in the quiet with you Verse 2 You don’t rush to fill up the silence You don’t run when I go deep You let me say the things I’m scared of And you don’t think less of me There’s no storm behind your kindness No second side to see Just a steady hand I can hold on to When the past comes back on me Chorus You don’t raise your voice to be heard Don’t leave me hanging on your words You don’t turn away when it gets hard You just stay right where you are And it’s new, but it feels like truth A kind of love I never knew No, it don’t hurt like I thought it would I’m finally safe in the quiet with you Bridge (lift, emotional release) I kept waiting for the door to slam For goodbye to come again But you just hold me like you mean it And I don’t have to pretend Final Chorus (bigger, open) You don’t raise your voice to be heard Don’t leave me breaking on your words You don’t walk away when it gets hard You just love me as I am And I don’t miss the way it used to move All that fire I had to prove ’Cause it don’t hurt like I thought it would I’m finally safe… in the quiet with you
