Verse 1 Iām tired of wearing everybodyās weather, tired of swallowing storms that arenāt mine. They keep drawing maps with broken fingers, telling me where Iām supposed to shine. But thereās a door glowing blue in the hallway, and I can hear my own name through the rain. I donāt know where the road is going, but I know I canāt stay chained. Pre-Chorus Their voices crawl like larvae in the walls, trying to hatch inside my mind. But Iām peeling them off, one by one, leaving their shadows behind. Verse 2 Iām done choosing between their hunger and the fire living in my chest. Done being folded into silence, done confusing surrender with rest. I see my path like gold in the distance, thin as thread but burning true. And every step I take toward freedom still somehow leads me back to you. Pre-Chorus Let the old world rot in its garden, let the bitter roots dry in the sun. Iām not blooming for their approval, Iām becoming my own one. Chorus So please stay with me, hold my hand when the floor disappears. Stand beside me when Iām shaking through the fear. Iām walking out the door tonight, with a heart full of bruised-up light. I donāt need you to save me, just donāt let go when it gets hard to stand. I will always want you, so baby, hold my hand. Bridge If I fall, donāt call me broken, just remind me I can rise. If I scream into the darkness, donāt be scared of what survives. There are wings beneath this damage, there is sky behind this pain. I am more than what they planted, more than fear inside my veins. And if the night comes dressed in teeth, if the road cuts through the sand, Iāll keep walking toward my own soul with your warmth inside my hand. Final Chorus Please stay with me, hold my hand when the stars go blind. Stand beside me when Iām fighting for my mind. Iām walking out the door tonight, not perfect, but alive. I donāt need you to lead me, just love me while I learn to stand. I will always want you, through the smoke, through the static, through the promised land. I will always choose you, but I have to choose myself too. So baby, hold my hand. Outro The door is open. The moon is awake. My path is trembling, but itās mine to take. Donāt let go. Donāt let go. Hold my hand.
