[Intro – piano only, fragile]
Hey…
You don’t have to be ready.
[Verse 1]
I see you standing at the edge again,
Holding every word you never said.
You smile like you’ve already lost,
Like loving me would cost too much.
You say you’re fine, you always do,
But your hands are shaking when you move.
You’ve been strong for far too long,
You don’t have to be it on your own.
[Pre-Chorus]
If your heart is tired from the fight,
If the dark’s been louder than the light—
[Chorus]
I’m right here, I won’t let go,
You don’t have to break alone.
If the world feels too unkind,
Lay your fear down next to mine.
I don’t need you perfect or brave,
I just need you close, just stay.
If you fall, don’t pull away—
I’m already here, in open hands.
[Verse 2]
You talk like love is something earned,
Like every scar’s a lesson learned.
But I don’t keep a score like that,
I just want you as you are.
You don’t have to prove your pain,
Or explain the nights you couldn’t face.
If you’re lost and out of air,
I’ll be the place you land, I swear.
[Pre-Chorus]
If you’re scared I’ll see too much,
If you’re scared you’re hard to love—
[Chorus]
I’m right here, I won’t let go,
You don’t have to break alone.
If your voice is hard to find,
Lean into mine, lean into mine.
I don’t need a hero’s face,
I just want your honest weight.
If you fall, don’t turn away—
I’m already here, in open hands.
[Bridge – stripped, almost whispered]
I’m not asking you to stay forever,
I’m just asking you to stay tonight.
Let the walls come down whenever—
I’ll still be here when morning arrives.
[Final Chorus – full instrumentation + choir]
I’m right here, I won’t let go,
Every crack, I’ll hold it close.
You don’t have to carry this alone,
You don’t have to walk back home.
If you’re weak, that’s not a sin,
Let me be the place you rest in.
If you fall, don’t be afraid—
I’m already here…
With open hands.
[Outro – piano fading]
No rush.
No fear.
I’ve got you.
