Home in you

I’ve been carrying silence like it’s part of my skin

Smiling through storms I don’t let anyone in

Every goodbye feels heavier than before

Like my heart knows the cost of walking out the door

I try to be strong, I try not to need

But you see the cracks I work hard to keep clean

When the world gets loud and I don’t know what to do

Every road in my chest leads back to you

I don’t say it enough, but I’m scared when you’re gone

Time moves too slow and the nights feel too long

Because you feel like home when nothing else does

Like shelter from the weight I’ve been carrying too long

I don’t want space, I don’t want to be brave

I just want you close when my hands start to shake

If loving you hurts, then it’s worth every bruise

I’ve been lost my whole life till I found home in you

I hate how distance teaches me how much I care

How silence screams when you’re not there

I replay your voice just to steady my breath

You’re the calm in my chaos, the life in my chest

I don’t need fixing, I don’t need saving

Just stay when my heart starts breaking

Let me be weak, let me be true

Let me fall apart right here with you

I’m tired of pretending I don’t feel this deep

Of telling my heart to learn how to sleep

Because you feel like home when nothing else does

Like warmth in the dark when I’m losing my touch

I don’t want distance, I don’t want control

I just want your hand when I’m losing my hold

If loving you hurts, then I’ll still choose you

I’ve been lost my whole life till I found home in you

If I push you away, please know it’s fear

I’m terrified of losing what I hold this dear

I’ve lost enough, I’ve learned that truth

Some things don’t heal—but you help me through

So if I say I don’t want to leave

Believe me, that’s the truest part of me

You feel like home when I don’t belong

Like a place where my heart doesn’t have to be strong

I don’t want forever if it’s not with you

I don’t want healing if I’m healing alone too

If I’m breaking, let me break in your view

Because I finally know what home feels like…

And it’s you

So stay a little longer, don’t let me go

I’m tired of surviving—I want to be known

If this is love, then I’ll see it through

I don’t need the world…

I just need you.
