Lyrics
Verse 1
We been movin' in silence, but the tension's loud,
Every touch feels electric, like we lost in the clouds.
I don't gamble with love, but I'm bettin' on you,
One slip of your heart, and I'd fall right through.
Pre-Chorus
If I give you my soul, would you hold it right?
Handle me gentle in the dead of night?
I don't need promises, just somethin' true,
'Cause all of my edges could cut into you.
Chorus
You could heal me... or you could break me,
One move, and my world rearranges completely.
I ain't fragile, but I'm human, baby,
So if you love me... love me safely.
Verse 2
You got words like a weapon, but your hands are kind,
You've been messin' with my spirit, runnin' laps in my mind.
Every kiss is a risk, but I crave that fire,
You're the danger I trust, you're my soul's desire.
Pre-Chorus
If I let you this close, would you see my scars?
Would you trace every wound like they're works of art?
Don't say forever, just show me tonight,
That the weight of my love won't drown your light.
Chorus
You could heal me... or you could break me,
One move, and my world rearranges completely.
I ain't fragile, but I'm human, baby,
So if you love me... love me safely.
Bridge (slow, spacey - ad-libs on top)
Ooh, don't play with my heart like it's casual,
Every beat of this love is collateral.
If I hand you the key, don't you lose the door,
I've been hurt, I can't take that no more.
Chorus - layered harmonies
You could heal me... (heal me) or you could break me (break me),
One move, and my world rearranges completely.
I ain't fragile (no), but I'm human, baby,
So if you love me... love me safely.
Outro
If you love me... love me safely.
If you need me... need me gently.
'Cause I'm strong, but I bleed when I fall,
And with you, I could lose it all.
