Inside You

You sat nearby, not far from me
Close enough that I could see
You smiled once, then looked away
Like you were not sure you should stay
I stayed right there, I let you be
And felt you slowly trust in me

You let the silence speak the truth
And I stayed close enough for you

Inside you, the tears you hold so tight
Inside you, the heart you try to hide
Every scar you never show
Every place you fear to go
Inside you, I want to stay
Even when you push me away

You pressed your head against my chest
Like you were tired of all the rest
You tried to laugh, then looked away
Like you were asking me to stay
Your fingers traced a broken scar
Across the place that hurt so far

Let me in, don't close the door
I'll stay here, I won't ask for more

Inside you, I see every scar
Inside you, I know who you are
Every fear you try to hide
Every place you run inside
Inside you, I want to stay
And never turn or walk away

If your heart falls out of place
I'll be there when you lose your way
No fear can make me turn around
I'll be the place where you feel found

Every fear you tried to hide
Every scar you held inside
Every tear you never told
Every place you used to hold
Inside you, I choose to stay
Forever here... I won't walk away
