(Verse 1) I feel stupid loving midnight skies But sleeping with the hallway light Double checking every lock twice Like fear still lives inside these walls tonight You haven’t been here for over a month Still my hands shake when the dark shows up Scrubbing my skin til the water burns Trying to erase what still hurts (Pre-Chorus) And every creak sounds like a memory Every silence feels like emergency I hate that my body still panics first Even when your shadow’s gone from this earth (Chorus) Then you pull me close and say “I see you, littlebird, you’re safe” “I got you, you don’t walk alone” “You don’t have to survive this on your own” And when my lungs forget to breathe You stay through every shaking piece Hold me together when I come undone Like maybe love doesn’t always run (Verse 2) You sit beside me through the storms When I feel tiny, scared, and worn No fixing me, no looking away Just reminding me it’s okay to stay You trace calm through my trembling hands Teach my nervous heart to land And every time you softly speak The dark loses a little more of me (Bridge — emotional MCR-style build) Cause I was taught love leaves eventually That safety was just fantasy But you stand here through every scar Like my broken pieces aren’t too hard And maybe healing looks like this— A light left on A forehead kiss Someone staying when panic hits (Final Chorus) You say “littlebird, look at me” “There’s no monster here you need to be” And I still shake, but less each night Now your voice is louder than the fright So if I fall apart again Promise you’ll pull me back in Cause for the first time in my life The dark doesn’t feel endless tonight.
