here I am in the dark
whispering words of confession
that reach deeper than my heart
remembering all I put myself through
and running away from the pain
but now I have a place to start
though I may not see clearly yet
I am not ashamed
to show you these mistakes
unleashing all my scars
even though I'm so tired
you're here to hold my heart
and I am safe
here with you, I am safe
stepping out from the ashes
breathing life as if for the first time
I'm waking up inside
letting go of all my fears
you wash away all my shame
now I have nothing to hide
though I don't quite understand yet
I stand through all the pain
I'll show you these mistakes
unleashing all my scars
even though I'm so tired
you're here to hold my heart
and I'm safe
here with you I am safe
I'm scared to let go
trying to take it in
wanting to see
the morning begin
but I will never
ever give up
because
I'll show you these mistakes
unleashing all my scars
even though I'm so tired
you're here to hold my heart
you comfort me completely
I owe it all to you
you bring me back to grace
and you show me what's true
now I'm safe
here with you
I am ... safe
