(Verse 1) You smile when I speak, but your eyes don’t lie Every laugh feels like a cover for the tears you hide I see the makeup, but I also see the bruise He call it love, but it’s pain he’s puttin' you through You always say you’re fine, but you won’t make eye contact Keep your phone face down like you scared he might react I know your silence better than his words Every hug we share screams louder than it should hurt You flinch when I move, even though I’m gentle You deserve love that’s safe, not accidental You talk like you stuck, like the door won’t turn But baby love don't burn — love should never burn You walk away, but keep looking back And I wonder how much longer you can carry that I don’t wanna push you, I just wanna stay In case your soul ever whispers, “Take me away” (Hook x2) If you need a place to fall, I’ll be right here If you’re breaking in the dark, I’ll make it clear You don’t have to say a word, I feel it all You don’t owe me love — just know I’ll catch the fall (Verse 2) Every time you leave, it’s like a silent scream Like you’re beggin’ me to pull you out the dream I see him postin' pics like everything’s okay But I saw the crack in your voice yesterday You wear long sleeves, even in the sun Tryna hide what he’s done like love’s undone You shouldn’t have to break to make someone whole But you keep tryin’ like losing’s the goal I know you don’t think you’re strong enough But your strength is showin’ every time you get up He don’t see you, not the way I do He just sees control, I see the truth I ain’t here to steal you, I just wanna be The safe space you forgot that love could be So if that day comes, when you finally choose Know I’ll be waitin’ without askin' you to move (Hook x2) If you need a place to fall, I’ll be right here If you’re breaking in the dark, I’ll make it clear You don’t have to say a word, I feel it all You don’t owe me love — just know I’ll catch the fall (Verse 3) You sat on my couch, eyes red like a warning Tried to laugh it off, said “he just gets like that some mornings” I gave you space, but I’m dyin’ inside Watchin’ you sink, when I know you could rise You said you used to dream, but now you just survive Said “this is love” — I said “no, this is fightin’ to stay alive” I know he says sorry and swears he’ll change But the cycle keeps spinnin’, and so does your pain If love is a cage, baby let me be the key I’d never raise my voice just to make you see You deserve soft — you deserve peace You deserve hands that hold, not ones that squeeze I’m not perfect, but I’ll never make you afraid I’ll build a home in your heart, not a barricade If today’s not the day, then I’ll still wait Just promise me you’ll remember I stayed (Hook x2) If you need a place to fall, I’ll be right here If you’re breaking in the dark, I’ll make it clear You don’t have to say a word, I feel it all You don’t owe me love — just know I’ll catch the fall
