[Verse 1] I felt the shift before I knew why the stillness hit like a warning sign. My chest went tight, old ghosts woke up, and suddenly I was bracing for someone giving up. [Verse 2] I wrote the words I wish I hadn’t sent “Maybe we should go back to being friends.” It wasn’t truth, it was survival dressed as choice a scared girl speaking in my grown woman’s voice. [Pre-Chorus] My past still moves too fast inside me. One shadow pulls the whole floor out. [Chorus] But you called me steady, certain, clear pulled me back from the edge of fear. You didn’t flinch when I fell apart; you held the pieces like you knew my heart. I wasn’t leaving I was terrified. And you stayed with me through the spiral tonight. [Verse 3] You didn’t scold, you didn’t question my worth. You saw the wound beneath the trigger first. You heard the shake in the breath I hid, and instead of running you ran toward it. [Pre-Chorus] I hate the way my history rewrites now, turning silence into something to survive. [Chorus] But you called me steady, certain, clear pulled me back from the edge of fear. You didn’t flinch when I fell apart; you held the pieces like you knew my heart. I wasn’t leaving I was terrified. And you stayed with me through the spiral tonight. [Bridge] I’m learning love that doesn’t punish or disappear. I’m learning calm from someone who actually stays near. If I tremble, it’s not you I doubt it’s just a past I’m still crawling out. [Final Chorus] ’Cause you called me steady, certain, clear found me shaking and drew me near. You saw the fear I tried to hide, and didn’t let me run this time. I’m not broken just learning light. And you stayed with me through the spiral tonight.
