Verse 1
I learned to stand on my own feet,
Heart like armor, eyes alert.
But every time you walk in slow,
I forget who leads, who’s hurt.
You don’t say much, but it all lands,
Your silence fills the room.
I built my walls out of control,
You see straight through the truth.
Pre-Chorus
I’m tired of being the strong one,
Of always pushing through.
Don’t tell me I’ll be fine again,
Just let me lean on you.
Chorus
I crave the way you hold your ground,
The calm you never fake.
You don’t call it power,
But my world feels safe.
I don’t want to be smaller here,
I just don’t want to stand alone.
If you lead, I won’t disappear —
I finally feel at home.
Verse 2
You don’t need crowns or louder words,
No proof of who you are.
You stay when things get heavy,
Like you’re built to bear the dark.
And maybe I’m not chasing you,
But the peace you bring inside.
The kind of quiet I’ve been missing
Every time I tried to fight.
Pre-Chorus
I’ve held myself together
Swore I’d never fall apart.
But with you I can be open,
Lay my weapons down, my heart.
Chorus
I crave the way you hold your ground,
The calm you never fake.
You don’t call it power,
But my world feels safe.
I don’t want to be smaller here,
I just don’t want to stand alone.
If you lead, I won’t disappear —
I finally feel at home.
Bridge
Maybe you’re just a mirror
Of what I’m scared to be.
Or maybe you’re the place
Where I stop fighting me.
Final Chorus (soft)
I crave you — not control, not fire,
Just someone who stays close.
When I let go of the wheel,
You don’t take — you hold.
