Hold me in the quiet Before the morning comes I’ve been carrying the answers Like stones inside my lungs I said I’d heal in silence I said I’d let it go But every room remembers More than I’ll ever know And if I sound uncertain It’s because I’m learning how To be honest with the shadows I was chasing down So hold me in the quiet When the world is much too loud When my name feels like a thunder And my heart won’t back down If love is just a lesson Then I’m standing in the rain Hold me in the quiet Till I learn to breathe again I was brave in all the wrong places Strong in all the wrong ways I mistook the burn for healing And the light for better days Now I see the lines I crossed And the parts I left behind But I can’t undo the echo That still lives inside If I could speak to the old me I would whisper, not demand You don’t have to drown to prove You ever understood the land So hold me in the quiet When the world is much too loud When my name feels like a thunder And my heart won’t back down If love is just a lesson Then I’m standing in the rain Hold me in the quiet Till I learn to breathe again Hold me in the quiet Hold me in the quiet
