If It Saves You One Breath

You don't have to say you're strong

Not tonight, not to me

You've carried more than you should

I see it — I see

If I could hold your pain

Take it just for a while

Not to fix, not to heal

Just to stay by your side

Let it break, let it fall

If it saves you one breath

I'll be silence, I'll be wall

I'll be everything you have left

You don't have to shine

You don't have to smile

Just be here, just be

And I'll stay all the while

When the sleep won't come

And the mirror's gone grey

I still know your face

The way morning knew day

I love you in your storm

Not in strength, not in fight

But for staying so near

When it all turned to night

Let it break, let it fall

If it saves you one breath

Let me sing through your storm

Even when there's nothing left

You don't have to rise

You don't have to win

Just breathe, love

And I'll carry us in

You're still here

That's grace

And I'll be here

'Til you're safe
