Lyric

You text, “are you still awake?”

Screen glow on your quiet face

You say the day felt way too long

Like you never quite belonged

I hear the tremble in your laugh

They never seem to notice that

You fill the room then fade from view

Like they’re looking past the truth

You tell me how the voices stack

In your head when you lose track

Of which one’s you and which one’s fear

I say, “love, I’m right here”

You ask, “am I too much again?”

Then correct it, “not enough, I meant”

I let the silence hold your name

Till you feel it isn’t shame

After everyone goes home

And you feel like you’re alone

I’m the quiet on the line

Breathing with you every time

When it’s tearing at your chest

And you can’t untie the mess

Stay right here, don’t disappear

I’m not going anywhere

When the world forgets your name

Like you vanish from the frame

I’ll repeat it low and clear

Till it’s all you start to hear

When your courage comes out thin

Like a thread about to spin

Hold on tight, through every fear

I’m not going anywhere

Let it out

Little pieces at a time (Mm-hmm)

Let it fall

I will guard what’s yours and mine

You don’t have to prove a thing

Just exist, just let it sting

I’ll stay on the other end (Yeah)

Till the shaking starts to end
