Lyrics
[Verse 1] I came in heavy Shoes still on the floor Carried too much Till I couldn’t reach the door Mamas in my head Old names in my hands I been holding grief Like a cracked-up can But I set it down On the churchwood grain Let it make a sound Let it say my name [Pre-Chorus] Soft like rain On a windowpane I’m still here I’m still here The room went still When I said that prayer Hands in the dark And you met me there [Chorus] Put it down, put it down Let it rest tonight Put it down, put it down You don’t have to fight I was made for more Than this old load Put it down, put it down Watch the heart unfold [Verse 2] Told my brother I been bending low Trying to be strong Till it turned to stone He said, “Sit with me Don’t make it a race” So I breathed it out In a half-lit space There’s a dent in me Where the fear got in But the light came warm And it moved my skin I ain’t new to hurt I just know the name Some days it’s a chain Some days it’s a flame [Pre-Chorus] Soft like rain On a windowpane I’m still here I’m still here The room went still When I said that prayer Hands in the dark And you met me there [Bridge] If I fall low Let the ground be kind If I lose my grip Let me still find A patient hand A steady breath Something living Underneath the mess [Chorus] Put it down, put it down Let it rest tonight Put it down, put it down You don’t have to fight I was made for more Than this old load Put it down, put it down Watch the heart unfold [Verse 3] Now the morning comes Like a second chance Steam on the glass And a softer stance I leave room in me For the ones I miss For the weight I named And the peace like this So if you see me I’m not acting brave I’m just learning how To be unchained One small breath One open door I laid it down And I asked for more
