Lyrics

[Intro]
Breath trapped high, thin glass in my chest.
Jaw counting seconds against my teeth.

[Verse 1]
A raised hand wrote it into skin: get small.
Shoulders up by my ears; I duck, I go still.
You lift your hand, open, slow as a dawn.
My jaw holds tight, then loosens by a breath.

[Build]

[Chorus]
You reach for me — I don't flinch anymore.
Your palm on my face, and my jaw lets go.
The breath I forgot I was holding slips out slow.
Shoulders unhook; the room grows wide.
You reach for me — I don't flinch anymore.

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Muscles keep a ledger; weather in old bruises.
A laugh down the hall and my neck pulls tight.
Your thumb finds under my jaw, a light left on.
I let the tremor happen; I don't reach for the door.

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
You reach for me — I don't flinch anymore.
Face in your hands, and my shoulders fall.
I meet your eyes; I let the soft stay.
The breath doesn’t hide; it moves the way it should.
Teach me this quiet, write it safe on my skin.
I stand up inside it, room inside my ribs.
You reach for me — I don't flinch anymore. (anymore)
You reach for me — I don't flinch anymore.

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I used to go still to disappear.
Now I go still to trust what doesn’t hit.
Your hand stays; I let it stay.
Inside the quiet, I belong to my body.

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
You reach for me — I don't flinch anymore.
