[Verse 1]
You walk in
Guard up high
Joke it off
“I’m fine
I’m fine”
But I see the tired in your eyes
All the storms you never name
Sit down
Kick off those boots
I’ll hold the weight you drag through rooms
Let the day fall off your shoulders
Let it all fall out on me
[Chorus]
Let me hold you like this
Like you’re rare
Like you’re precious
Like the world should’ve done
From the moment you started to run
You don’t have to be strong
Every second
Every breath
Every dawn
You’re allowed to be soft
To be sure
I’m here to make you feel wanted
Wanted and secure
[Verse 2]
You say you’re “too much”
Laugh it through
Who ever taught that lie to you?
If they could see what I see now
They’d write your name across the clouds
You’re art in an old worn frame
Gold under layers of shame
Let me trace every hidden glow
Till you start to see it show
[Chorus]
Let me hold you like this
Like you’re rare
Like you’re precious
Like the world should’ve done
From the moment you started to run
You don’t have to be strong
Every second
Every breath
Every dawn
You’re allowed to be soft
To be sure
I’m here to make you feel wanted
Wanted and secure
[Bridge]
If your hands shake
Let ‘em shake in mine (come closer)
If your hope breaks
I’ve got enough tonight (for both of us)
You don’t have to earn this love
Just breathe
Just be
That’s enough (that’s enough)
[Chorus]
Let me hold you like this
Like you’re rare
Like you’re precious
Like the world should’ve done
From the moment you started to run
You don’t have to be strong
Every second
Every breath
Every dawn
Every scar on your skin
I swear
Makes you something I adore
I’m here to make you feel wanted
Wanted and secure
