Intro (Soft harmonies) Coloratura Soprano Mmm… Ooh… It’s strange… How one person… Can make quiet… Feel so loud. BGVs: (Safe here…) (Mmm…) ⸻ Verse 1 I’ve gotten used to Holding my own Never letting anybody See too much Always knew Just what to say Keeping all the harder parts Locked away You don’t pull You don’t pry You don’t ask me To explain You just stay… Long enough For all my defenses To forget their names BGVs: (Forget their names…) (Mmm…) ⸻ Pre-Chorus And I don’t know How you did it I don’t know When it changed But somewhere Between your patience… And your consistency… I started believing You might not leave ⸻ Chorus I feel… Safe here Like I don’t have To watch what I say Safe here Like I can finally Put my guard away If tomorrow Changes everything I’ll still be grateful That I knew What it felt like To be completely seen… And still be loved Safe here BGVs: (Safe here…) (Stay right here…) (Mmm…) ⸻ Verse 2 You notice When my smile Doesn’t quite reach My eyes You hear The words I never say Without me Having to try You don’t rush To fix me You don’t need To rescue me You just make The heavy parts Feel… A little lighter Every time you hold me BGVs: (Hold me…) (A little lighter…) ⸻ Pre-Chorus I’ve spent so long Expecting goodbye That forever Always sounded Like a beautiful lie But you… Make forever Feel possible Without saying A single word ⸻ Chorus I feel… Safe here Like I don’t have To earn your love Safe here Like your heart Already made room And if this world Ever pulls us apart There’ll always be A place inside me That remembers What peace Felt like Safe here BGVs: (Safe here…) (Your love feels like home…) (Mmm…) ⸻ Bridge (Music strips back to Rhodes and bass) Coloratura Soprano You know… Nobody ever tells you… That being loved… Can be just as scary As being hurt. Because now… You’ve got something Beautiful… To lose. BGVs: (Ooh…) (Don’t let go…) But somehow… I’d rather be afraid… With you… Than spend another lifetime Pretending I don’t need anybody ⸻ Final Chorus (Strings swell, harmonies bloom) I feel… Safe here Like every broken piece Has somewhere to belong Safe here Like my heart Can finally rest If loving you Is the bravest thing I’ve ever done Then let me be Brave enough To stay Safe here… With you BGVs: (Safe here…) (Stay… stay…) ⸻ Outro Coloratura Soprano I used to think… Strength meant Never needing anyone… Now I think… Sometimes… Strength is letting someone See you… Before you’re ready. BGVs: (Safe here…) (I’m safe here…) (Mmm… fade…)
