Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I held my breath in the quiet
Waiting for something to move
The light through the window
Drew lines across you
Your hands were trembling
Mine were, too
Like we both understood
What we might lose
(Pre-Chorus)
Say it slowly
Don’t let it break
If this is fragile
Let it ache
(Chorus)
For this life
I would wait
For this life
I would stay
If all I have
Is your name
On my lips —
I’ll remain
For this life
(Verse 2)
We were standing on a fault line
Calling it home
Building our future
Out of bones
Every promise
Felt too wide
But I would fold myself
Inside
(Pre-Chorus)
Say it louder
Let it shake
If this is breaking
Let it break
(Chorus)
For this life
I would wait
For this life
I would stay
If the world
Turns away
I won’t move
I won’t change
For this life
(Bridge)
Don’t let me be
A passing sound
Don’t let our hands
Fall to the ground
If we’re only
Here once —
Only once —
Then choose me now
(Final Chorus)
For this life
For this life
For this life
I am yours
I am yours
I am yours
If there’s breath
In my chest
If there’s light
Left to find
For this life —
For this life —
For this life
For this life…
I am yours.
