From the recording If You Let Me
Lyrics
There were nights we didn’t have the answers
Just the quiet and the weight of it all
We’ve seen storms from different angles
Still somehow we stood tall
I know the past has left its fingerprints
On every corner of your heart
But you never ran from the truth in it
You just learned how to be strong
And I don’t want to fix your broken pieces
I just want to sit with you there
I don’t need a promise or a reason
Just a moment you’re willing to share
If you let me, I’ll be the one who stays
Through the doubts, through the growing pains
I see your life in the lines of your face
And I love you more every day
You don’t have to hide, you don’t have to pretend
I’ll meet you wherever you are, not where you’ve been
If you let me, I’ll give you all of me
Every part, honestly
I love you when you’re strong and steady
And when you don’t feel okay
When you laugh like nobody’s listening
And the world just fades away
There’s a little girl inside your heartbeat
Still learning how to feel safe
And when she smiles, it pulls my walls down
Brings my inner child out to play
We don’t have to rush the meaning
Or define every breath we take
All I know is when you’re near me
Everything feels more awake
If you let me, I’ll be the one who stays
Through the doubts, through the growing pains
I see your life in the lines of your face
And I love you more every day
You don’t have to hide, you don’t have to pretend
I’ll meet you wherever you are, not where you’ve been
If you let me, I’ll give you all of me
Every part, honestly
We’ve both been hurt in different ways
Learned survival, learned escape
But love don’t have to feel like fear
It can feel like home right here
No pressure, no chains, no need to prove
I’m not trying to save you
I’m choosing you
If you let me, I’ll be the one who stays
When the sky falls, when the light feels gray
I see forever when I hear your name
And I don’t take that lightly, babe
You’re enough just the way you are
With your open heart and your battle scars
If you let me, I’ll walk this gently
Side by side, intentionally
So take your time, I’m not going anywhere
I’m right here
If you let me
