When I Fall

Verse 1)
Some days I feel paper-thin,
Like one wrong word could tear me again.
I hide my face behind my hands,
Tryin’ to breathe in a world I don’t understand.
My knees give out, my voice gets quiet,
I’m fighting shadows, losing the fight.
I whisper, “I can’t do this anymore,”
And that’s when I hear them at my door.

(Pre-Chorus)
They don’t need me to be strong,
They just need me to hold on.
And somehow they always know
Exactly when I’m sinking low.

(Chorus)
When I fall, they catch me—
Lift me up when life attacks me.
I feel weak, I feel small,
But they don’t let me break or fall.
They remind me who I am
When I forget I even can.
In the dark when I can’t see,
My friends and family rescue me.

(Verse 2)
There’s something holy in their care,
The way they sit with me when I can’t breathe air.
They don’t judge the mess I’m in,
They say, “Lean on us—start again.”
They take my shaking hands in theirs,
Tell me, “You’re not alone, we swear.”
And somehow their belief in me
Feels stronger than my misery.

(Pre-Chorus)
They hold my heart like something rare,
They stay when others wouldn’t dare.
And every time I lose my ground,
They build me up without a sound.

(Chorus)
When I fall, they catch me—
Lift me up when life attacks me.
I feel weak, I feel small,
But they don’t let me break or fall.
They remind me who I am
When I forget I even can.
In the dark when I can’t see,
My friends and family rescue me.

(Bridge)
Someday I’ll stand tall again,
And I’ll be the strength for them.
’Cause love like this is everything—
It makes the smallest heart still sing.
Maybe I’m bruised, maybe I bend,
But I rise because of them.

(Chorus – final)
When I fall, they catch me—
Every fear they help detach me.
I feel weak, I feel small,
But with them? I can face it all.
They remind me who I am
When the world feels like quicksand.
In the dark when I can’t see,
My friends and family rescue me.

(Outro)
And I’m stronger than I used to be…
’Cause they never give up on me.
