Verse 1
There’s a cold side of the mattress
That knows my name too well,
It whispers every fear I’ve buried
In the corners of myself.
I keep a list of all my failures
Like scripture written in my skin,
Tracing every scar at midnight,
Wondering where to begin.
Pre-Chorus
Because your love feels holy,
And I still feel haunted.
Chorus
I’ve been studying the shape of leaving,
The silhouette of goodbye.
Trying to prepare my heart
For the day you change your mind.
Tell me, when the darkness finds me,
When the doubts become too loud,
Will you still reach through the shadows,
Or will I lose you to them now?
Verse 2
You talk about forever softly,
Like it’s something we can touch.
While I’m counting all the reasons
Why I might not be enough.
I’ve seen the way the world can change,
How beautiful things disappear.
So I hold you like a prayer unanswered,
Terrified you’ll vanish from here.
Pre-Chorus
And I hate that I need reassurance,
But your voice is the only thing
That makes the monsters sleep.
Chorus
I’ve been studying the shape of leaving,
The silhouette of goodbye.
Trying to prepare my heart
For the day you change your mind.
Tell me, when the darkness finds me,
When the doubts become too loud,
Will you still reach through the shadows,
Or will I lose you to them now?
Bridge
If I showed you every ugly thing,
Every wound beneath the paint,
Every sleepless night spent wondering
If I’m someone worth the wait—
Would you still pull me close?
Would you still say my name?
Would you still look at me
Like I’m more than my mistakes?
Breakdown
Because I am so tired
Of fighting myself.
So tired of standing guard
Against my own reflection.
And you…
You are the only place
I’ve ever felt safe enough
To put the sword down.
Final Chorus
I’ve been studying the shape of leaving,
But you keep proving me wrong.
Every time I expect distance,
You pull me back where I belong.
And maybe love isn’t the absence of fear,
Maybe it’s choosing to remain—
Even when you know the storm inside me,
Even when you know my name.
Outro
So if you’re still here when the morning comes,
Lay your hand over my heart.
Let me feel that you’re real…
Before my mind tears us apart.
