I kept it folded tight
Under my tongue at night
Like a note I never sent
To the life I meant
Small hands on the glass
Watching moments pass
I was scared to want
What I couldn’t have
But you came close
Like morning through the blinds
And I heard my name
For the first time
Hold me up
There were rooms I hid
In the shape of “fine”
With a calm face on
And a shaking spine
Now the air feels wide
Every breath feels new
I was half alive
Till I found the truth
But you came close
Like morning through the blinds
And I heard my name
For the first time
I don’t need forever
I just need tonight
Something warm to follow
Something right
If I lose my balance
If the ground gives way
Keep that little spark
In my chest awake
Hold me up
