Verse 1
I saw something in myself this weekend,
A tender place I used to hide.
A quiet ache that asks for reassurance
When fear starts rising inside.
It wasn’t really about you —
It was an old remembering.
A younger version of my heart
Still learning how to trust what love can bring.
Pre-Chorus
When I open up my feelings,
I’m not asking you to lose —
I just need to feel you hold me
Before we choose what’s true.
Chorus
Meet me in the moment,
Before you guard your side.
Let me feel my heart is welcome
Before we clarify.
I don’t need perfection,
I just need you to stay —
Through the tender friction,
Not turning away.
When you soften and you stay,
That’s the part that makes me safe.
Verse 2
When you said I left you hanging,
Something old began to shake.
My body knows the story
Where small cracks become a break.
But this time felt different.
This time we slowed down.
Two imperfect souls
Letting our defenses soften to the ground.
Pre-Chorus
You were protecting your heart.
I was protecting mine.
But we chose understanding
Over being right.
Chorus
Meet me in the moment,
Before the walls arise.
Let me feel my heart is seen
Before you justify.
I don’t need a quick apology,
I need depth I can feel —
The kind of steady presence
That makes repair real.
When you breathe and you stay,
That’s the part that makes me safe.
Bridge (Soft, reflective)
Maybe my nervous system
Is still catching up to now —
Learning that disagreement
Is not a vow
To leave.
Maybe love is simply
Two people brave enough
To stay inside the discomfort
Long enough for trust.
Final Chorus (Lifted, open)
Meet me in the moment,
Let’s breathe and let it land.
Let understanding be the place
Where we both stand.
We didn’t break this weekend —
We grew in a new way.
Through the tender friction,
We stayed.
And every time you choose to stay,
That’s the part that makes me safe.
Outro (Soft / layered harmonies)
That’s the part that makes me safe.
That’s the part that makes me safe.
