[Verse 1]
I been standin’ so straight
Armored up
Every day
Holdin’ all of this weight
Smilin’ like I’m okay
Keys by the door
Shoes on
Heart in a hard little knot
Say you’re here
You’re not gone
But I’ve heard that line a lot
[Chorus]
I need emotional safety
A place I can fall apart
Where I don’t have to fake brave
Or edit my aching heart
I need to cry on your shoulder
Ugly
Unfiltered
And true
To know when my world gets colder
You’re not gonna move
You’re not gonna move
[Verse 2]
Can you handle my storm
When my calm disappears
When my voice isn’t warm
Just tangled with fear
If I shake in your arms
Mascara all over your chest
Will you kiss every scar
Say
“You’re still my best”? (yeah)
[Chorus]
I need emotional safety
A place I can fall apart
Where I don’t have to fake brave
Or edit my aching heart
I need to cry on your shoulder
Ugly
Unfiltered
And true
To know when my world gets colder
You’re not gonna move
You’re not gonna move
[Bridge]
Let me be soft
Let me be small
Take off this crown
Let it all fall
If I break down
Will you stay through
Say
“You can lose it
I won’t lose you” (won’t lose you)
[Chorus]
I need emotional safety
A place I can fall apart
Where I don’t have to fake brave
Or edit my aching heart
I need to cry on your shoulder
Ugly
Unfiltered
And true
To know when my world gets colder
You’re not gonna move
You’re not gonna move (oh)
You’re not gonna move
