When I was heavy in my soul
Your tender love and kindness
Made me whole
When I couldn't see another way out
You showed me that a burden
Shouldn't weigh me down
So when I feel like I just need someone
To hold me close
Tell me I'm seen and
You show me
Just what it's like to be known
When my mind
Tells me I'm out on my own
You say I'll
Give you what you need
I promise I'll be gentle with your heart
I'll give you what you need
I promise I'll be gentle with your heart
Baby you're safe to fall apart
So I just
Mm and I just
I just
When I was looking for the right road
You took me by the hand and brought me back home
When I couldn't hear you over my doubt
You told me in the quiet is a holy sound
So when I feel like I just need someone
To hold me close
Tell me I'm seen and
You show me
Just what it's like to be known
When my mind
Tells me I'm out on my own
You say I'll
Give you what you need
I promise I'll be gentle with your heart
(Oh I'll be gentle with your heart)
I'll give you what you need (Give you what you need)
I promise I'll be gentle with your heart
Baby you're safe to fall apart
So I just
Mm and I just
I just
