down I smile in the room then I crash when I'm out

 So hold me to the noise when it gets loud When it get loud don't let me shut down

 Don't let this all just start when you're not around

 I don't need the world I just need you close Be my quiet place when it gets loud

 I've been moving like I'm fine But there's pressure in my chest

 Too many voices in my phone Still I feel less

 I laugh at the jokes Keep it smooth, keep it light

 Then my thoughts start talking when it turn to night

 I don't wanna be the guy that ruins every good thing

 So I bite my tongue when I feel that swing But you see it in my eyes

 You don't push, you don't judge You just sit next to me

 And it's calm in the rest I don't need a stage

 I don't need applause I need steady love

 That don't switch with the flow If you hear me it don't fade

 And maybe I've been fragile too long To be out like temporary

 Some days I'm steady Some days I'm tense

 But I'm learning my trigger I'm learning my pace

 Learning I don't gotta drown Just to say I'm okay

 If I step outside that lid It's got me running away

 It's me choosing my peace It's me saving my day

 So don't take it personal When I get quiet and small

 Just remind me I'm safe I don't got a free fall

 And if you need space Yeah you're playing all respected

 Just don't leave me in doubt That's where my act is wrecked

 I get ill from truth I get ill from blur

 I can grow love when it's clear and short Breathe with me

 Slow it down Let the panic lose its sound

 I'm still here I'm still proud

 I can make it through the loud When it get loud I need you right now

 My head turns into storms when the lights come out

 I smile in the room then I crash when I'm out So hold me to the noise when it gets loud

 When it get loud don't let me shut down Don't let the silence turn sharp when you're not around

 I don't need the world I just need you close

 Be my quiet place when it gets loud
