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?
