Reach for me

It’s getting hard to breathe tonight

The air feels like it’s closing in

I’ve been walking through this valley

With a smile that’s wearing thin

I don’t need a thousand answers

Just a hand to pull me through

Cause the dark is loud and heavy

And I don’t know what to do

I’m not proud of how I’m hurting

But I’m too tired to pretend

If you’ve got something steady

Could you lend it, just to mend?

Would you reach for me

If I reached for you?

Would you carry me

When I can't get through?

I don’t need forever

I just need the night

To feel like I’m not losing

This silent fight

Would you reach for me

Would you reach for me tonight?

I’ve been screaming without speaking

Letting shadows take the lead

Trying to pray in broken sentences

Hoping someone sees the need

I don’t need the storm to vanish

Just a shelter in the wind

Cause my hands are cracked and bleeding

From the walls I’ve held within

If you’ve ever felt this hollow

Then you know what I mean

I’m not asking for the sunshine

Just a crack where hope can lean

Would you reach for me

If I reached for you?

Would you carry me

When I can't get through?

I don’t need forever

I just need the night

To feel like I’m not losing

This silent fight

Would you reach for me

Would you reach for me tonight?

There’s a space between despair and grace

Where all I’ve got is need

And I’m hanging by a whisper

Begging love to intercede

Would you reach for me

If I reached for you?

Would you carry me

When I can't get through?

I don’t need the answers

I just need the light

To know I’m not alone

Inside this fight

Would you reach for me

Would you reach for me tonight?
