I'll Keep It Safe

I’ll Keep It Safe”

Verse 1

Lately I’ve been thinkin’

’Bout the kind of love I’d choose—

Not the kind that burns out fast,

Or the kind that leaves a bruise.

I’ve been askin’ bigger questions

’Bout the heart I want to be—

Who I’m meant to love, and how,

And what that asks of me.

Verse 2

I’ve been learnin’ what it takes

To love honest, deep, and true—

To hold someone with gentleness

The way I wish someone once knew.

And I’m tryin’ to grow the courage

To be steady, soft, and brave—

To be the kind of love that heals,

Not the kind that walks away.

Chorus

’Cause when I break it down to one breath,

One truth I can’t escape—

Before I die, I want to be

Somebody’s favorite hiding place.

Where they can lay their secrets down,

Their solitude, their fear,

Every nervous little prayer they whisper

When the night feels near.

And they’ll know without a question,

Without a shadow, without a trace—

I’ll keep it safe.

Lord knows, I’ll keep it safe.

Verse 3

I don’t need a grand adventure,

Don’t need fortune, don’t need fame—

I just want a love that trusts me

With the fire and the flame.

A place where hearts can settle,

Where the storms all lose their sound—

Where someone knows they’re sheltered

Every time I’m around.

Chorus

’Cause when I break it down to one breath,

One truth I can’t escape—

Before I die, I want to be

Somebody’s favorite hiding place.

Where they can lay their secrets down,

Their solitude, their fear,

Every nervous little prayer they whisper

When the night feels near.

And they’ll know without a question,

Without a shadow, without a trace—

I’ll keep it safe.

Lord knows, I’ll keep it safe.

Bridge

Maybe love ain’t just a feeling,

Maybe love is what you do—

The way you hold a trembling heart

Till it learns it can trust you.

Maybe love is quiet shelter,

Maybe love is steady grace—

Maybe love is simply being

Somebody’s safest place.

Final Chorus

So when I break it down to one breath,

One truth I’ll always chase—

Before I die, I want to be

Somebody’s favorite hiding place.

Where they can put what keeps them going,

What they can’t show any face—

And know with every beat I breathe,

I’ll keep it safe.

Oh, darling…

I’ll keep it safe.
