[Acoustic groove, warm fingerpicking, easy pocket]
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre Chorus]
You do not have to be the strong one right now
You do not have to keep it all together somehow
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre Chorus]
So if your thoughts get loud, hand them over to me
If your chest feels tight, let it loosen and breathe
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Final Chorus]
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
[Outro]
[Soft humming, fingers still moving]
Come on, lean on me
Just lean on me
[Choir joins]
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
You are beautiful
