Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I could feel the weather changing
Before anybody spoke
Learned to hold the weight of others
Learned to carry what got broke
Built campfires for the lonely
Held the match against the wind
Called it love when I was hurting
Just to let somebody in
[Verse 2]
Some folks loved the light I carried
Some just liked staying warm
They would reach for me in darkness
Then disappear by morning
I could see the good inside them
Even when it hurt me too
Stayed too long beside the wreckage
Thinking love could pull us through
[Chorus]
I don’t need a smaller heart
I don’t need to hide it
Maybe I was never meant
To bleed to prove I meant it
I don’t need to close myself
Just because somebody couldn’t hold it
I don’t need a smaller heart
Just a safer place to put it
[Verse 3]
I got real good at surviving
Turning hurt into a song
But peace don’t come from staying somewhere
You already know is wrong
Now I want something steady
Something honest, something true
Arms that know how to hold love
Without asking me to lose me too
[Chorus]
I don’t need a smaller heart
I don’t need to hide it
Maybe I was never meant
To bleed to prove I meant it
I don’t need to close myself
Just because somebody couldn’t hold it
I don’t need a smaller heart
Just a safer place to put it
[Bridge]
If love comes, let it come easy
No more chaos, no more leaving
I still believe what’s meant for me
Won’t make me beg for peace to keep it
[Final Chorus]
I don’t need a colder soul
Don’t want to lose my wonder
Still believe in porch lights
Creek water and thunder
And I don’t need a smaller heart
No, I was never wrong for feeling
I just need arms safe enough
To hold all this tenderness without leaving
