[Intro – distant piano, soft wind-like synth]
Mm…
I learned the language of silence early…
Long before love had a name.
[Verse 1]
I grew up where promises fade like smoke,
Where every gentle word eventually broke.
Small hands learning to hold their own,
Building a shelter out of stone.
I watched the door but no one stayed,
So I stitched my courage, thread by thread.
Now I walk with iron grace,
A quiet storm no arms embrace.
[Pre-Chorus]
I carry oceans in my chest,
But I keep the waters under glass.
Every time a heart comes near,
Old echoes whisper don’t let them pass.
[Chorus 1]
I don’t need saving, I’m enough,
I’ve weathered every kind of rough.
I move like storms across the blue,
Still there’s a space that reaches you…
Reaching for you… on my own.
[Post-Chorus 1 – soft, airy]
Mm… reaching for you…
Ahh… on my own…
Mm… reaching for you…
Ahh… on my own…
[Verse 2]
I learned to bloom in colder air,
Where love was brief and rarely fair.
Every goodbye carved into me
A map of quiet autonomy.
Now tenderness feels sharp and strange,
Like sunlight after endless rain.
Your voice arrives, a fragile flame,
And all my careful walls feel thin again.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I hold my heart behind a door (mm…)
Locked since I was young.
Every time I start to trust (soft…)
The past reminds me how it’s done.
[Chorus 2 – same as Chorus 1]
I don’t need saving, I’m enough,
I’ve weathered every kind of rough.
I move like storms across the blue,
Still there’s a space that reaches you…
Reaching for you… on my own.
[Post-Chorus 2 – breathy]
Mm… reaching for you…
Ahh… on my own…
Mm… reaching for you…
Ahh… on my own…
[Bridge – intimate, confessional]
If I tremble, it’s not weakness,
It’s the ghost of every broken vow.
I was taught that love is leaving,
So I only trust the ground I stand on now.
But you stand there in the quiet
Like a dawn I never knew…
And somewhere in this guarded heart
A hand is reaching out to you.
[Vocal Build – powerful]
Ohhhhhhh…
Woahhhhhh…
Ahhhhh… ohhh…
Woah-oh-oh…
Ohhhhh…
[Final Chorus – powerful]
I don’t need saving, I’m enough,
I’ve survived every kind of rough.
But through the storms that shaped my view,
A fragile light still turns to you…
Reaching for you… though I stand alone.
[Post-Chorus – powerful, emotional]
Ohhhhhhh… reaching for you…
Woahhhhhh… even on my own…
Ahhhhh… oh-oh-oh…
Woah-oh-oh… reaching for you…
Ohhhhh…
[Outro – soft, fading]
Mm… reaching for you…
Careful… slow…
Mm… reaching for you…
Though I stand alone.
