Hold me when I fall
When my voice is shaken
When I feel too small
When I'm not the woman
That you fell in love with first
Tell me that you're staying
Tell me you'll absorb the worst
Don't just want the version
Dressed in her best light
I need you the closest
When I lose the fight
Hold me when it's breaking
Not just when it shines
Stay when I'm shaking
Read between the lines
Hold me when I'm nothing
Not the girl I was before
If you really want me
Hold me to the core
Don't need pretty mornings
Don't need perfect scenes
I need someone steady
When I can't hold my dreams
When the walls close in
And I forget my name
Don't you dare retreat now
Don't you dare walk away
Not just for the sunshine
Not just for the crown
Be the one who's kneeling
When the whole thing falls down
Hold me when it's breaking, oh
Not just when it shines
Stay when I'm shaking
Read between the lines
Hold me when I'm nothing
When I'm losing more
If you really want me
Hold me to the core
Stay, stay, don't you fade away
Stay, stay, stay, don't fade away (don't let me fall)
Stay, stay, stay, don't fade away
Stay, stay, stay, don't fade away (don't you fade)
Stay, stay, stay, don't fade away (ah-ah)
Don't you fade away
Hold me when it's breaking (hold me)
Hold me when it's breaking (hold me)
Not just when it shines (hold me)
Take away every scar I hide
Even when it's blinding (hold me)
Hold me when I bend
Don't just love the shore
If you really want me
Hold me to the core
Anybody stays for the easy days
Real love kneels in the storm
