(Verse 1)
As I drive, I see through windows—
hollow faces in the undertow.
Lost souls with their shadows on,
don’t know peace, don’t know love at all.
And I wanna say, hey,
love was given to me for free—
no price tag, no trade-off,
just trust, just breath, just honesty.
(Bridge)
My doctor, my therapist, my friend…
you showed me storms can really end.
Said, “Give me the pain you carry—
you weren’t meant to hold it alone.”
And if I follow what you’re saying,
I’ll never, ever lose my way home.
(Chorus)
’Cause no bottle full of liquid,
no bottle full of pills
ever took me where I needed,
ever taught me how to feel—
how to hold up my family,
how to stand up on my knees.
You broke the chains that tied me
to the floor beneath my feet.
(Verse 2)
I fall down, fall down again,
just to show you where my heart has been.
Should’ve trusted you from the start—
but you still pull me close when I fall apart.
Every day I miss the mark
of the mercy that you give so softly,
still your love is breaking bars—
I’m a cage and you unlocked me.
(bridge)
I don’t deserve your patience,
don’t deserve your landing place—
but you built a space for all my doubts,
and never once looked away.
I won’t shut you out again,
I’ll let you in without permission—
you season my heart like a four-course meal,
no pretending, no conditions.
(Chorus)
Cause no bottle full of liquid,
no bottle full of pills
ever took me where I needed,
ever taught me how to feel—
how to hold up my family,
how to stand up on my knees.
You broke the chains that tied me
to the floor beneath my feet.
(Verse3)
Guard your mind, it’s a locked-down safe—
no combination for the ones that break you.
Keep people near who carry love,
the kind that doesn’t shake you.
They’ll say they don’t judge, but they do—
only you judge true, only you pull through.
If I’m drowning in the rain again,
God, I know you’ll carry me through.
(Bridge)
So tell me—
how do I speak your name
without pushing hearts away?
God, take over my tongue,
give me the words to say,
’cause I only want to lead them
to your open door,
your open door…
that I needed before.
(Chorus)
’Cause no bottle full of liquid,
no bottle full of pills
ever took me where I needed,
ever taught me how to feel—
how to hold up my family,
how to stand up on my knees.
You broke the chains that tied me
to the floor beneath my feet.
(Bridge)
I’ll never feel worthy,
but you still heard me say,
“I’m lost,” and you whispered back,
“I love you like my son—I paid.
My door is always open,
you don’t need an invitation.
Just close your eyes, lift your hands,
I’m your quiet restoration.”
(Chorus)
Cause no bottle full of liquid,
no bottle full of pills
ever took me where I needed,
ever taught me how to feel—
how to hold up my family,
how to stand up on my knees.
You broke the chains that tied me
to the floor beneath my feet.
