The Safe Space Verse 1 You sat in my lap and called me home Said the world made sense when we were alone I carried your storms like they were mine Read every fracture between the lines I thought love was something you built with trust Brick by brick through the dirt and dust But some houses burn while the lights stay on And you don't know they're gone until they're gone Pre-Chorus I was holding tomorrow You were already leaving I was learning your heartbeat You were practicing deceiving Chorus You called me your safe space While you were digging my grave Told me I was the one thing You never wanted to lose or replace Funny how the knife always knows The softest place to land You called me your safe space With another man's shadow on your hands Verse 2 The evidence wasn't hidden well Love leaves fingerprints where secrets dwell A photograph, a message, a truth gone cold A story ending before I'd been told I stared at the wreckage we used to be A ghost in the shape of a memory And every promise we ever made Collapsed beneath the weight of what you'd betrayed Pre-Chorus I kept asking what I missed What I could've done better But some people leave the room Long before they leave the letter Chorus You called me your safe space While you were digging my grave Told me I was the one thing You never wanted to lose or replace Funny how the knife always knows The softest place to land You called me your safe space With another man's shadow on your hands Bridge I drove south with a bleeding heart And enough silence to fill the dark Thought I'd die from what you did Turns out I survived it instead Now the mirror tells the truth That pain couldn't see back then You didn't break the man I was You introduced me to him Final Chorus You called me your safe space But I finally found my own Somewhere between the wreckage And the miles of road alone The scar remains, the lesson stays The memory still burns But the man who left that night Wasn't the man who returned Outro You called me your safe space... And maybe that's what hurt the most. Not that you left. That I believed you.
