[Intro] Coffee gone cold Rain on the glass Shoes by the door Time moving too fast [Verse 1] You come home quiet With storm clouds in your sleeves Say you’re not tired Like I don’t know how you breathe I don’t ask twice I just move the chair Put food on the table And pretend not to stare You say, “I’m fine” Like it’s something I’ll believe Kid, I taught that lie Long before you learned to leave [Pre-Chorus] The world can be cruel And call it training Turn little hearts into tools And call it saving But not in this house Not while I’m breathing You don’t have to earn your place You don’t have to prove you’re needed [Chorus] So come home, problem child The lights are low, the door’s unlocked You can fall apart a while I’ll keep watch beside the clock You don’t have to talk You don’t have to be brave If the night gets too loud I’m still awake I’m still awake I’m still awake If you can’t find your way back home I’m still awake [Verse 2] There’s a blanket on the couch That I won’t say I left for you A mug beside the sink And a cat judging both of us too You laugh under your breath Say I’m worse than I admit I say, “Go to sleep” But I’m glad you’re here for it I’ve seen heroes break Trying to hold too much alone So don’t carry pain Like it’s all you’ve ever known [Pre-Chorus] I won’t clip your wings I won’t lock the windows But I’ll teach you how to land When the hard wind blows And if they call you weapon If they call you mistake They can say it to me first Let them see what I erase [Chorus] So come home, problem child The lights are low, the door’s unlocked You can fall apart a while I’ll keep watch beside the clock You don’t have to talk You don’t have to be brave If the night gets too loud I’m still awake I’m still awake I’m still awake If you can’t find your way back home I’m still awake [Bridge] I’m not good with speeches I’m worse with goodbye I say too little But I notice when you lie I know every footstep Every hitch in your chest Every time you smile too fast And forget you need rest So call me from the rooftop Call me from the rain Call me when you’re angry Call me when you’re ashamed I don’t care what happened I don’t care how late No punishment for needing help No locked door, no weight [Breakdown] Behind me That’s all you need to hear Behind me When the danger gets too near Breathe once Look at me You’re not alone You’re not leaving [Final Chorus] Come home, problem child The lights are low, the door’s unlocked You can fall apart a while I’ll keep watch beside the clock You don’t have to talk You don’t have to be brave If the night gets too loud I’m still awake Come home, problem child No more sleeping in the cold No more proving you can hurt Just to show them you can hold You matter when you’re strong You matter when you break And when you forget that truth I’m still awake [Outro] Coffee gone cold Rain on the glass Shoes by the door You’re home at last I won’t say much That’s not my way But the blanket’s still warm And I’m still awake
