Safe
Grant Natalie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How did you know that I'm all alone, today
Oh I feel so scared and I wanna go away
I bleed so deep underneath
My soul is screaming

I'm not gonna hide
I'm not gonna run away
I'll uncover the scars and show you every mistake
Your love is mending my blisters and the bruising shame
Here with you
I am safe

Drown in the tears wont make it go away
Its robbing my soul so im taking this mask off my face, yea
To discover love and uncover all it means to live and breathe

I'm not gonna hide
I'm not gonna run away
I'll uncover the scars and show you every mistake
You're love is mending my blisters and the bruising shame
Here with you

I am safe
I am safe
I am safe
I am safe

When you uncover I discover
I am not afraid
But when were hiding
We end up fighting
To be, safe
Yea

I'm not gonna hide
I'm not gonna run away
Ill uncover the scares and show you every mistake
Your love is mending my blisters and my bruising shame
Here with you
I am safe
I am safe
I am safe




I am safe
I am Safe
