[Verse 1]
You say you’re “fine”
Eyes on the floor
Laugh it off quick
Lock every door
I see the shake
Under your smile
You change the subject
“I’ll be okay
It’s just a while”
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that armor’s getting heavy
I know that silence cuts like glass
You think you have to stand up steady
Alone
Till the storm blows past
[Chorus]
You’re not alone on this battleground
I’m in the fire when you’re falling down (hey!)
If you can’t shout
I’ll be your sound
It’s okay
I’m here right now
When every thought feels like a war
I’ll hold the line right at your door
You don’t have to hide anymore
It’s okay
I’m here right now
[Verse 2]
I see your hands
Stained with the fight
Sleep on the couch
Screen on all night
You joke it off
“Everyone’s tired”
But I can feel
The quiet ache behind your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re bruised from battles no one’s seeing
You wear your laughter like a mask
You think that bleeding means you’re weak and
You fall
Before you ever ask
[Chorus]
You’re not alone on this battleground
I’m in the fire when you’re falling down (oh yeah)
If you can’t shout
I’ll be your sound
It’s okay
I’m here right now
When every thought feels like a war
I’ll hold the line right at your door
You don’t have to hide anymore
It’s okay
I’m here right now
[Bridge]
[Female vocal
Low and close]
If you can’t move
I’ll sit beside you
If you can’t speak
I’ll hold your hand
We’ll breathe through every shaking hour
We’ll stand
We’ll stand
[Male vocal
Rising]
If you lose faith
I’ll keep it for you
If you lose hope
I’ll light a flare
You don’t have to earn my staying
I’m there
I’m there (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re not alone on this battleground
I’m in the fire when you’re falling down
If you can’t shout
I’ll be your sound
It’s okay
I’m here right now
When every thought feels like a war
I’ll hold the line right at your door
We’ll learn to breathe
Then fight once more
It’s okay
I’m here right now (I’m here)
It’s okay
You’re not alone now
