Ashleigh Rogers - Safe Lyrics

Life was a stage for my clean reputation
The people I knew were so tedious
The daily exchange of the same salutations
Felt so untrue and overdone

And then you came along
Like the first sight of dawn
And my heart had someone to trust

I was safe
To say what I want, and be anyone I wanted to
I was brave
For the first time at all
Because there in your arms I knew

Our love was a play, a perfect illusion
You built me up to tear me down
Left me alone in a sea of confusion
With nothin to cling to but my own doubts

I was trapped in a phase
A dark lonely place
With no light to guide me out

So I stayed
Because all that I knew
Was the shelter of you and our brokenness
Every day
I questioned the sky, askin what I had to give
To feel safe

Then my words opened up
A tunnel of love
To travel through
And it took me some time
To stop looking behind
But away from you
I'm someone new

I'm safe
Safe in my skin
Safe from the wind
In your hurricane
Now I'm brave
Brave on my own
The strength that I hold
Is in a place
I keep safe
