[Intro]
Yeah…
She smile like the world ain’t heavy…
But nobody sees the war in her head…
No… nobody but him…
And those two dogs at the foot of the bed…
⸻
[Verse 1]
She walk in the room, light up everybody’s night
Laugh so pretty, got stars in her eyes
Friends say she strong, say she always alright
But they never see her cryin’ at 2 in the night
Got scars she hide underneath her clothes
Old pain buried where nobody goes
Head full of storms, heart runnin’ cold
Fightin’ with the shadows nobody knows
Every mirror turn into a battlefield
Every bad thought start feelin’ too real
Tryna stay numb but she still feels
Like the world keeps cuttin’ wounds that won’t heal
She tired… but she keeps that smile on
Even when her whole damn soul feels gone
Carryin’ weight for way too long
Singin’ broken hearts through her headphones
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the lights go dim
And the silence creeps in
She ain’t fightin’ alone again…
⸻
[Chorus]
‘Cause he holds her tight when the night gets cold
Whispers “baby don’t let go”
Two dogs curled up by her feet
Keep her heart from fallin’ too deep
When her mind starts driftin’ to the dark again
He pulls her close, says “breathe it in”
Through the pain, through the rain, through the ache inside
Love and paw prints keep her alive
Yeah…
Smile for the world all day
But at home she finally breaks
And they love her through the pain…
⸻
[Verse 2]
She got demons that talk in her sleep
Memories cuttin’ way too deep
Anxiety climbin’ like waves in the sea
Still she wakes up and pretends she at peace
Late night tears on the bathroom floor
Heart so tired she can’t fight no more
Then she hear paws scratchin’ at the door
Like “hey… you still got somethin’ worth livin’ for”
One jump up into her lap
One lay beside her during panic attacks
And her man run fingers through her hair in the black
Sayin’ “I ain’t goin’ nowhere, remember that”
That kind love don’t come easy
Especially when your own mind wanna leave you bleedin’
But he sees her soul when she stops believin’
And reminds her she got reasons for breathin’
⸻
[Bridge]
She don’t gotta hide every bruise anymore
Don’t gotta fight every war alone anymore
Got a home in his arms
Got peace in those paws
And somehow that’s enough to survive…
⸻
[Chorus]
Yeah, he holds her tight when the night gets cold
Whispers “baby don’t let go”
Two dogs curled up by her feet
Keep her heart from fallin’ too deep
When her mind starts driftin’ to the dark again
He pulls her close, says “breathe it in”
Through the pain, through the rain, through the ache inside
Love and paw prints keep her alive
⸻
[Outro]
She still smiles for everybody else…
But now…
When she breaks…
She don’t break alone anymore…
Just him…
Those two dogs…
And a little bit of hope…
Keepin’ her heart beatin’ through the dark…
