[Verse 1]
You trace the cracks
In the hospital paint
Say
"It’s kinda pretty
How it still tries to stay"
I laugh too quick
So I don’t fall apart
You say my name
Like a hand on my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days you’re smiling at cartoons
Some days you’re drowning in the room
I sit and count your careful breaths
Pretending I’m not scared to death
[Chorus]
I’ll hold your hand through the dark
Through the dark
Even when my head is loud and sharp
When your body’s tired
And my thoughts catch fire
I’ll be right here
Right here
I’ll hold your hand through the dark
[Verse 2]
You ask me softly
"If I fade
Will you stay?"
Your wristband rattles
When you shake that fear away
I tuck your blanket
Past your trembling knees
You say
"You know
You’re the one
Who’s been saving me"
[Pre-Chorus]
You’ve seen me shaking on the floor
Breathing storms behind my door
You pulled me back with shaking arms
Now I wrap you in my scars
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If the sunrise comes
And you can’t see it
I’ll paint it on these sterile walls
So you can feel it
If your voice gets small
Like it’s lost in the sheets
I’ll press my forehead to your lips
And let your silence speak
[Chorus]
