[Verse 1]
You still sleep on the edge of the mattress
Like you’re saving space for a ghost
Laugh when you say you’re “over it
Honest”
But your eyes keep telling me more
You flinch when your phone lights the table
Then you turn it face-down on the floor
You say
“I’m fine
It’s just old stories”
But they’re carved in the frame of your door
[Chorus]
Let me be your safe place
Baby
Somewhere you can fall and not break
I’ll take every fear you’re hiding
Hold it like it’s mine to take
He taught you love was walking on glass
I’ll teach you it can feel like grace
You don’t have to heal alone this time
Let me be your safe place
[Verse 2]
You apologize just for existing
For talking too long
For needing a ride
You learned to love by asking permission
To take up a corner of someone’s time
I see the way you dodge every compliment
Like it’s something you never deserved
But if you were mine for a minute
I would match every scar with a word
[Chorus]
Let me be your safe place
Baby
Somewhere you can fall and not break
I’ll take every fear you’re hiding
Hold it like it’s mine to take
He taught you love was walking on glass
I’ll show you it can feel like grace
You don’t have to heal alone this time
Let me be your safe place
[Bridge]
I’m not asking you to rush it (oh no)
I’m just asking for a chance
To prove not every hand that holds you
Leaves you reaching into emptiness
When you’re ready
I’ll be waiting
Same seat
Same smile
Same faith
Heart open like a porch light
On for you
Every day
[Chorus]
Let me be your safe place
Baby
Somewhere you can fall and not break
I’ll stay through the storms you’re riding
Even when you push me away
He turned your love into a lesson
I’ll turn it into something brave
You don’t have to heal alone this time
Let me be your safe place
Let me be your safe place
