Verse 1
I’ve learned to walk through fire
With a smile upon my face
I’ve carried all my battles
And I’ve found my own way
I don’t need someone to save me
I don’t need a hand to hold
But there’s something about your silence
That makes me feel less alone
Pre-Chorus
You don’t ask me for the answers
You don’t tell me who to be
You just sit beside the pieces
And somehow, you still see me
Chorus
I don’t need you to breathe
I don’t need you to stand
I don’t need you to catch me
Every time I lose my balance
But when the whole world gets too loud
And I don’t know what to say
I just need you beside me
Just beside me
And somehow I’m okay
Verse 2
You can read between my silence
See the things I never show
You can hear it in my laughter
When there’s something underneath it all
And I know I could keep going
I’ve done it all before
But with you there in the doorway
I don’t have to be so strong
Pre-Chorus
You don’t try to fix my broken
You don’t turn away from scars
You just meet me where I’m standing
And remind me who we are
Chorus
I don’t need you to breathe
I don’t need you to stand
I don’t need you to catch me
Every time I lose my balance
But when the whole world gets too loud
And I don’t know what to say
I just need you beside me
Just beside me
And somehow I’m okay
Bridge
Maybe needing isn’t weakness
Maybe love is letting in
Someone who can see the darkness
And still stay when it gets dim
I could face another morning
I could make it on my own
But if you’re there when I wake up
I don’t have to feel alone
Chorus
I don’t need you to breathe
I don’t need you to stand
I don’t need you to catch me
I can catch myself again
But when the whole world gets too loud
And I’m fighting through the pain
I just need you beside me
Just beside me
Till I find my way
Outro
I’ll be okay on my own
I know I’ll find my way
I just want you beside me
At the end of the day
