No Safety in Your Arms

They say love should feel like shelter. Yours never did. That’s why I stayed.

I knew better than to lean in Knew your past, knew your sins Every sign said “walk away” But your silence pulled me in

Your touch never felt like peace It felt like standing in the rain Cold enough to keep me awake Warm enough to make me stay

Every warning light was red But I trusted where you led

There’s no safety in your arms No soft place to fall But when the night comes down hard You’re the only thing I want You don’t promise me heaven You don’t save me from harm But I’d rather face the storm Than be safe without your arms

We learned love the hard way No clean starts, no clean names Every mile cost us something Every truth came with pain

You don’t lie, you don’t hide You just tell it how it is And somehow that cuts deeper Than a kiss ever did

You don’t love like a shield You love like something real

There’s no safety in your arms No sure ground to stand But when everything I built breaks You’re the wreck I still defend You don’t swear it’ll be easy You don’t play the part But I’d rather bleed beside you Than be safe with a heart that’s dark

If love’s supposed to calm the fire Why does yours pull me closer? If peace is what they all want Why does it feel like closure?

Some hands hold you still Some hands dare you to fall And I learned who I was With my back to the wall

There’s no safety in your arms But there’s truth in every scar When the world turns its back You’re exactly where you are I don’t need saving grace I don’t need alarms I just need you right here — Even if there’s no safety in your arms

I don’t stay ‘cause it’s safe. I stay ‘cause it’s you.
