[Verse 1] Quiet room Old sweater smell You ask me "Are you doing well?" I shrug I joke Say "I'm always fine" But my fingers shake When they reach for mine [Chorus] Hold me anyway When my words come out sideways When I don't know how to stay But I don't want to go See the worst of me Stay curled around the ache Understand my heart Please And love me anyway (oh) [Verse 2] I overthink Until it hurts Turn small fears Into practiced words But you just breathe Your chest on my back Say "you don't have to fix it You can just relax" [Chorus] Hold me anyway When my words come out sideways When I don't know how to stay But I don't want to go See the mess I am All the pieces out of place Kiss my worried forehead And love me anyway (yeah) [Bridge] If I fall apart at midnight Will you leave the hallway light on Let me cry into your t-shirt Till the shaking in me is gone [Chorus] Hold me anyway When the doubt gets so heavy When I don't know what to say But I need you to know This is all I have Every crack Every mistake If you understand my heart Can you love me anyway Just love me anyway
