Lyric

I don’t need to clench my fists anymore

I can… open my hands

You see?

I let you in…

And I cherished you

With you, I never wait out in the cold

You arrive before winter can touch my soul

You don’t see my cracks as mistakes to mend

You touch them gently—let them bloom again

I’m not a riddle you must decode

Just a heart offered, soft and exposed

And you…

You listen

I once believed love meant to run

With you… it means to breathe

You don’t take me, you receive me

You don’t hold me, you free me

Your love tears nothing down—it grows

It lets life bloom, it flows

You don’t steal a second, you make time shine

And I rest… in the peace that your soul entwines

You don’t buy my smiles

You let them rise

You never flee

You stay, even when fear’s near me

And you know…

At the start, I was afraid—

To be loved… truly

Not for what I do, or what I chase

But for what I am… in my own grace

Without a race

So I laid my weapons down

One by one

Without a sound

Just… you

Me

Two souls, finally free

You don’t take me, you receive me

You don’t hold me, you free me

Your love tears nothing down—it grows

It lets life bloom, it flows

You don’t steal a second, you make time shine

And I rest… in the peace that your soul entwines

Stay… never drift away

Without you, all fades to gray

You are my strength, my sacred flame

And I can’t live apart from your name

You don’t take me, you let me be

You never force—just open to me

You are the love that truly gives

That bares its soul, and softly lives

And bathed in your golden light

I’m no longer afraid to love, or to be quiet

I’m here

With you
