Somewhere to Fall

Verse 1

I learned early how to disappear

How to smile and not speak

Love meant reading the room

Before it ever noticed me

I was taught that truth was dangerous

That silence kept the peace

So I got good at holding pain

And calling it belief

Chorus

I just wanted somewhere to fall

When the night got loud

I just wanted love that stayed

When the lights went out

You gave me enough to believe

I was finally safe

But needing someone to love you

Isn’t the same

Verse 2

Some love came with open hands

Some came with closed doors

Some broke me loud and obvious

Some kept score in softer wars

I learned the shape of bruises

You can’t ever point to

The kind that teach you doubt yourself

Before someone else has to

Chorus

I just wanted somewhere to fall

When the night got loud

I just wanted love that stayed

When the lights went out

You gave me enough to believe

I was finally safe

But needing someone to love you

Isn’t the same

Bridge

I mistook familiarity for fate

I mistook calm for care

If love felt complicated

I thought that meant it was rare

One part loved me like truth

The others worked unseen

And every time I called it home

It asked me not to be me

Final Chorus

I just wanted somewhere to fall

Without learning how to lie

I just wanted love that didn’t

Ask me to divide

So if you hear yourself in this

Please hear this part of me

Being seen is not the same

As being safe

Outro

Now the room is full of quiet

And I’m here alone with it

I don’t need love that feels familiar

I need love that feels safe
