[Intro – soft piano, distant pads]
Mm… (mm…)
Stay close… (come here…)
Just breathe… (breathe with me…)
[Verse 1]
We don’t have to be the strong ones tonight, (no…)
No armor in the hallway light.
Let the world wait outside the door, (outside…)
We don’t need to pretend anymore.
Your hands shake a little in mine, (I feel it…)
Like truth is standing on a line.
If you fall, I’ll fall the same — (with you…)
No one here to place the blame.
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to hide your tears, (don’t hide…)
I’ll sit with all your silent fears.
If your voice breaks in the dark, (I’m here…)
I’ll memorize each fragile spark.
[Chorus 1]
Let’s be vulnerable together, (together…)
Lay our defenses down forever. (let them fall…)
No more pretending we’re made of stone, (no more…)
I don’t want to be brave alone. (alone…)
If your heart is barely beating, (I feel it…)
Mine will match its quiet pleading.
Every scar and every scarlet scar — (every one…)
I love you exactly as you are. (as you are…)
[Post-Chorus – soft harmonies]
Ahh… stay… (stay…)
Mm… don’t turn away… (don’t go…)
We don’t have to run… (no…)
Not from anyone… (ohh…)
[Verse 2]
Tell me where it still hurts inside, (tell me…)
All the places you try to hide.
I’ll trace the edges with gentle hands, (slowly…)
Like mapping out forbidden lands.
Your doubts don’t make you less to me, (never…)
They’re just proof you feel deeply.
If the night feels cold and long, (hold on…)
We’ll write our warmth into a song.
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to fix your pain, (no fixing…)
I’ll dance with you inside the rain.
If you tremble, I’ll stay near — (right here…)
There’s no shame in being sincere.
[Chorus 2 – same lyrics]
Let’s be vulnerable together, (together…)
Lay our defenses down forever.
No more pretending we’re made of stone, (let it break…)
I don’t want to be brave alone.
If your heart is barely beating, (I feel it…)
Mine will match its quiet pleading.
Every scar and every scarlet scar — (ohh…)
I love you exactly as you are. (as you are…)
[Post-Chorus 2 – powerful vocalizations]
Ohhhh—ahhh—ahhh!
Ahh-ahh—ohhh—ohhh!
Woahhh—ohhh—ahhhh! (don’t let go…)
Ahh—ahh—AHHHH!
[Bridge – stripped back]
What if love is just this — (just this…)
Two open hands, one trembling kiss?
No spotlight, no disguise, (no disguise…)
Just truth reflected in your eyes. (your eyes…)
Mm… stay with me… (stay…)
[Final Chorus – elevated]
Let’s be vulnerable together, (forever…)
Through every storm and every weather.
No more lonely in-between, (no more…)
You see my heart — I’ve seen yours seen.
If we’re breaking, let it show, (let it show…)
That’s the only way we grow.
Every fear we let uncover (ohh…)
Turns two strangers into lovers. (into lovers…)
[Outro – soft fade]
Stay close… (closer…)
Just breathe… (breathe with me…)
We don’t have to be strong — (no…)
Not when we’re strong in being weak. (ahh…)
Dayzzz
