[Verse 1]
Take it
If she gives you her heart
Careful
It’s glass and it’s gold
Hold it like a secret in the dark
Softer than anyone’s told
Let your arms be a place she can sleep
Face pressed into your chest
Count every breath she breathes in deep
Like a small
Quiet yes
[Pre-Chorus]
When her voice shakes in the kitchen light
And her eyes hide what she won’t say
Don’t you turn from the trembling night
You lean in
You stay
[Chorus]
Love her like that when the sky turns black
When the whole wide world feels ready to cave
When the weight on her back is more than it should have
You be the one who won’t walk away
Take it if she gives you her heart
Don’t you break it
Let your arms be the place she feels safe in
She will love you
She will love you right back
If you love her like that
[Verse 2]
Kiss her on the forehead first
When she’s tired and worn through
Ask her ‘bout the good and the worst
Then listen ‘til she’s through
Write her name in the corners of days
Bring her coffee in worn-out mugs
Learn the map of the lines on her face
Trace them slow like a prayer
Like a drug
[Pre-Chorus]
When the bad news hits like a rushing train
And she stares at an empty phone
Stand there in the doorway of her pain
Call her your home
[Chorus]
Love her like that when the sky turns black
When the whole wide world feels ready to cave
When the weight on her back is more than it should have
You be the one who won’t walk away
Take it if she gives you her heart
Don’t you break it
Let your arms be the place she feels safe in
She will love you
She will love you right back
If you love her like that
[Bridge]
It’s easy in the sunlight
Anyone can stay then (oh)
But love is in the late nights
3 a.m. again
When the doubt gets loud
You say her name out loud
“I’m here
I’m not going anywhere”
[Chorus]
Love her like that when the sky turns black
When the whole wide world feels ready to cave
When the weight on her back is more than it should have
You be the one who won’t walk away
Take it if she gives you her heart
Don’t you break it
Let your arms be the place she feels safe in
She will love you
She will love you right back
She will love you
She will love you right back
If you love her like that
