Battle After Another

You walked in and the room got quieter somehow

Like the day followed you home and laid down on the couch

You tried to smile and I saw right through it

That brave face you wear when you are running on fumes

So come here, sit close, let the noise stay outside

Let me hold you up for a minute while you put down your pride

You do not have to be the strong one right now

You do not have to keep it all together somehow

Let me love you like you need it tonight

Like you do for everybody all the time

Let me take the weight, let me take the wheel

Let me remind you what safe feels like

You are still you, even when you are tired

Even when your light feels a little wired

So breathe, baby breathe, I am right here

And you are loved, you are loved

I know your body hurts in places you do not say

And your mind keeps spinning lists that never go away

You are the heart of this house, every corner you touched

You turned chaos into comfort, you turned dust into us

But I hate that you think you have to earn your rest

Like you cannot fall apart unless you pass some kind of test

So if your thoughts get loud, hand them over to me

If your chest feels tight, let it loosen and breathe

Let me love you like you need it tonight

Like you do for everybody all the time

Let me take the weight, let me take the wheel

Let me remind you what safe feels like

You are still you, even when you are tired

Even when your light feels a little wired

So breathe, baby breathe, I am right here

And you are loved, you are loved

If you feel like you are failing, you are not

If you feel like you are fading, you are not

You are the good in the middle of the mess

You are the answer when I do not have one yet

So turn your music up girl, let the world be loud

I will make a small quiet out of right now

Let me love you like you need it tonight

No fixing, no proving, no finishing lines

Let me take the weight, let me take the wheel

Let me remind you what safe feels like

You do not have to shine, you do not have to fight

You can just be held in the soft porch light

So breathe, baby breathe, I am right here

And you are loved, you are loved

Come on, lean on me

Just lean on me

You are loved

You are loved

You are loved

You are loved

You are beautiful
