Britt Nicole's song 'Safe' explores the tension between self-protection and vulnerability in love. The lyrics describe a person who has built walls to avoid getting hurt, but realizes that true love requires risk. The song acknowledges that love isn't always safe or predictable, yet it's worth embracing. It speaks to the human struggle of letting go of control and trusting another person, which can also reflect a spiritual openness to God's love. The message is about finding strength in vulnerability and accepting that love, though uncertain, brings growth and connection.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You keep trying to get inside my head
While I keep trying to lose the words you said
Can't you see I'm hanging by a thread
To my life, what I know
Yeah, I'm losing control and
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe
You're not safe
I'm strong enough, I've always told myself
I never wanna need somebody else
But I've already fallen from that hill
So I'm dropping that guard
Here's your chance at my heart and
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't
Everything you want, but it's everything you need
It's not always happy endings
But it's all the in-between
It's taken so long, so long to finally see
That your love is worth the risk
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe (whoa, yeah)
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe
You're not safe
And that's OK
