[Intro] I learned to sleep with one eye open I learned to listen in the dark Always waiting for a warning Always ready to run [Verse 1] I grew up watching every shadow Reading faces, reading signs Never knowing when the silence Would turn into a storm at night I got used to staying quiet Got used to hiding what I felt Built a fortress around my heart And learned to stand there by myself [Pre-Chorus] But I'm tired of looking over my shoulder Tired of running from the past Maybe I can finally let go Maybe this feeling can last [Chorus] Tell me I am safe here Tell me I can stay I don't have to disappear I don't have to be afraid I've been holding my breath For all of my life But when you hold me close I can finally breathe tonight [Verse 2] Sometimes I still feel the danger Even when the room is still Part of me is always waiting For the silence to break again But I'm learning to stop running Learning I can close my eyes Maybe love is not surrender Maybe love is feeling alive [Pre-Chorus] I'm tired of looking over my shoulder Tired of living in the past Maybe I can finally let go Maybe this feeling can last [Chorus] Tell me I am safe here Tell me I can stay I don't have to disappear I don't have to be afraid I've been holding my breath For all of my life But when you hold me close I can finally breathe tonight [Outro] I can turn the lights off I can finally close the door I don't have to run anymore I don't have to run anymore Maybe home is not a place Maybe home is where I feel safe And tonight... I'm not afraid anymore
