Soft Enough To Stay

by 66
Mmm Stay with me I learned to smile with a guarded heart Turn every silence into art Every touch felt like a line of fire Every dream was built to hide You wore the daylight like a crown But I saw the weight that pulled you down Running hard for a love you knew Should have never asked that much of you But I don’t need your perfect light And you don’t have to save my night If we are shaking, let it be true I’m still reaching back for you So hold me like the world is breaking Love me like we’re done escaping All this fear, all this pain Falls like thunder in the rain If I tremble, pull me closer If you’re burning, I’ll be your shoulder Heart to heart, we crash, we pray Wild enough to choose to stay You don’t have to win my heart I don’t have to hide my scars In the dark, in the blue I come alive when I love you I used to flinch when the room got kind Like tenderness could change its mind You used to shine till your colors bled Chasing words you never said Now we stand where the fear runs thin Letting all the daylight in Not untouched, not unafraid Just two hearts refusing to fade But I don’t need your perfect light And you don’t have to save my night If we are shaking, let it be true I’m still reaching back for you So hold me like the world is breaking Love me like we’re done escaping All this fear, all this pain Falls like thunder in the rain If I tremble, pull me closer If you’re burning, I’ll be your shoulder Heart to heart, we crash, we pray Wild enough to choose to stay You don’t have to win my heart I don’t have to hide my scars In the dark, in the blue I come alive when I love you Love is not a debt to pay Not a prize we have to chase It’s your voice saying my name Like I was never made of shame If the past comes back tonight I will meet you in the light No more running, no more proof I am home when I’m with you So hold me like the world is breaking Love me like we’re done escaping All this fear, all this pain Falls like thunder in the rain If I tremble, pull me closer If you’re burning, I’ll be your shoulder Heart to heart, we crash, we pray Wild enough to choose to stay You don’t have to win my heart I don’t have to hide my scars In the dark, in the blue I come alive when I love you Wild enough to stay Soft enough to stay I come alive When I love you
