Safe Space

I’m tracing circles on the palm of my hand Trying to make sense of the things I don’t understand When the silence grows a little too loud in the room I start searching for a sign that I’m still with you You take a step back and the air gets cold Like a story left finished but never been told I’m reading the shadows dancing on the wall Waiting for the moment that you might let me fall My heart is a glass house, fragile and thin Don't let the winter come rushing back in I need a promise that you’re staying right here To quiet the thunder and whisper through the fear. So be my safe space, the stars in my sky Hold me so close that the world passes by I feel you pulling away and I lose my breath Like a heartbeat running from the shadow of death Please be patient with the pieces of me I’m a ship trying to find a calm blue sea Just make me feel loved, don’t let me go You’re the only home that I’ve ever known. I second guess the way you look at the door Are you finding reasons not to stay anymore? I know I’m a whirlwind, a heavy kind of grace But I find my gravity in the lines of your face When I’m shaking, just reach for my hand Help me remember how to firmly stand It’s a long road back from the edge of the dark And you’re the only one who carries the spark If you leave me now, I won't survive the night I’m a broken bird losing the will for the flight Stay in the moment, stay in the beat Keep me away from the cold of the street. So be my safe space, the stars in my sky Hold me so close that the world passes by I feel you pulling away and I lose my breath Like a heartbeat running from the shadow of death Please be patient with the pieces of me I’m a ship trying to find a calm blue sea Just make me feel loved, don’t let me go You’re the only home that I’ve ever known. Don't let the distance become a Great Wall I’m reaching out, can you hear my call? It’s not a game and it’s not a test I just need a place where my spirit can rest Wrap your arms around the doubt in my head Believe in the words that I haven't yet said I’m fragile, I’m honest, I’m wide open wide With nowhere else left for my spirit to hide. So be my safe space, the stars in my sky Hold me so close that the world passes by I feel you pulling away and I lose my breath Like a heartbeat running from the shadow of death Please be patient with the pieces of me I’m a ship trying to find a calm blue sea Just make me feel loved, don’t let me go You’re the only home that I’ve ever known.
