Still Safe and Sound

[Verse 1]

Always the one who holds the pieces

Always the one who stays up late

Never the hand that gets the healing

Never the shoulder that they take

[Bruises I bury in the morning light

Scars I wear like quiet clothes

Cracks I've painted over gently

Now they're starting to show]

[Pre-Chorus]

And I watch the sky go dark

I make a wish before the spark

[Chorus]

When is it my turn to be held

When is it my turn to be found

To be the one somebody worries for

To be the one still safe and sound

Still safe and sound

[Verse 2]

I smile through every ache I'm handed

I carry everything and more

But the weight is getting heavy

And I can't ignore what's at the core

[Broken on the inside I pretend

Bruised and battered to the bone

Stitching up my careful edges

Doing all of this alone]

[Pre-Chorus]

And the stars begin to fall

I whisper through the quiet all

[Chorus]

When is it my turn to be held

When is it my turn to be found

To be the one somebody worries for

To be the one still safe and sound

Still safe and sound

[Bridge]

So I wish upon the falling light

For a man who stays through every night

Who loves me whole with every scar

Loves me better than the one I am

Holds me close and never lets me go

Makes me feel the way I already know

[Final Chorus]

When is it my turn to be held

When is it my turn to be found

To be the one somebody worries for

To be the one still safe and sound

To be the one who's cared for

To be the one who's loved

Still safe and sound
