Come back slow

Intro (soft, almost whispered)

Mm…

(come closer)

I don’t need perfect

(no…)

I just need you present

(right here)

Verse 1

You don’t gotta explain it

(I felt it)

I know when the weight gets heavy on you

I see how you pull away

(not because you don’t care)

But ‘cause you don’t wanna bleed on me

I don’t need the story

(no details)

I can hear it in your breath

The way you touch then hesitate

(tell me everything)

Yeah, I know you hurting too

Pre-Chorus

So don’t disappear on me

(stay)

Don’t make silence your shield

I don’t need you fixed

(no fixing)

I just need you real

Chorus

Come back slow

(real slow)

Lay your head where it knows

(where it’s safe)

I don’t need you perfect

(no)

I just need you open

If it hurts, let it show

(let it out)

If you tired, let me know

(I got you)

I don’t need you better

I just wanna make it better with you

Verse 2

You don’t gotta earn me

(no you don’t)

I been right here the whole time

Even when your walls went up

(I stayed)

Even when you crossed the line

I know how pride can talk loud

(real loud)

When the heart don’t know what to say

But love ain’t about winning

(no)

It’s about choosing to stay

Pre-Chorus

So don’t shut me out again

(don’t)

Don’t carry it alone

I don’t need apologies

(just presence)

I just need you home

Chorus

Come back slow

(real slow)

Lay your head where it knows

(where it’s safe)

I don’t need you perfect

(no)

I just need you open

If it hurts, let it show

(let it out)

If you tired, let me know

(I got you)

I don’t need you better

I just wanna make it better with you

Bridge (this is where it breaks open)

If your heart still shaking

(I feel it)

Put it in my hands

(I won’t drop it)

If you scared I’ll see too much

(look at me)

Baby, that’s the plan

I don’t love you when it’s easy

(no)

I love you when it’s real

When your guard fall down

(yeah…)

That’s when I feel you

Soft Drop

Come here

(right here)

No words

(no words)

Just breathe

(with me)

Final Chorus

Come back slow

(real slow)

Let me hold you close

(real close)

I don’t need you healed

(no)

I just need you honest

If you break, I won’t go

(I’m staying)

If you stay, we can grow

(together)

I don’t need you better

I just wanna make it better with you

Outro (fading, intimate)

Mm…

(you safe here)

Yeah…

Come back slow

…I got you
