[Verse 1]
You don’t have to wear a mask for me
Don’t pretend you’re something you don’t need to be
I don’t want the polished lines
I want the truth you hide behind your eyes
————
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re fine, but your silence speaks
I hear the war inside when you don’t sleep
You don’t have to carry that alone
You don’t have to face the dark unknown
————-
[Chorus]
Don’t try and be perfect for me
Just show me where you hurt the most
I wanna be the arms that hold
Every crack you’re scared to show
You don’t need to shine to be enough
You don’t have to earn this kind of love
Let me be the place you run to
I just wanna love what’s real in you
—————
[Verse 2]
Tell me where the past still bleeds
Where the ghosts still whisper when you breathe
Don’t hide the parts that feel too weak
That’s where my love was meant to speak
—————-
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re not a burden, not too much
You deserve the kind of touch
That sees your soul and doesn’t flinch
That holds your pain like precious gifts
————-
[Chorus]
Don’t try and be perfect for me
Just show me where you hurt the most
I wanna be the arms that hold
Every crack you’re scared to show
You don’t need to shine to be enough
You don’t have to earn this kind of love
Let me be the place you run to
I just wanna love what’s real in you
—————-
[Bridge]
Give me the tears, give me the fear
Let me be the one who stays right here
When the world walks out, I’ll walk in
Loving you deeper than your skin
————
[Final Chorus]
Don’t try and be perfect for me
Just show me where you hurt the most
I wanna be the arms that hold
The pieces that you’ve lost all hope
You don’t need to shine to be enough
You don’t have to earn this kind of love
Let me be the place you run to
I just wanna love what’s real in you
————
[Outro]
So show me where it hurts the most
That’s the part I wanna hold the closest
