Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don’t need a hero, don’t need a clown,
Been through the fire, I won’t break down.
Don’t build me a shelter, don’t stop my fall,
Just Walk beside me, throughout it all.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t need saving, I’ve saved myself before,
But I need a hand when I reach for yours.
[Chorus]
I don’t want you to save me,
Just promise you won’t trade me.
Let me bleed, but don’t betray me,
And know the fires that remade me.
Let me be strong, let me be free,
Just be the roots beneath my tree.
[Verse 2]
Don’t need your battles, I fight my own,
But I need your light when the road feels alone.
Don’t hold me too tightly, don’t pull too hard,
Just love me freely, without a guard.
[Pre-Chorus]
But I need a love that won’t ask for more,
That holds me still when I’m feeling at war.
[Chorus]
I don’t want you to save me,
Just promise you won’t trade me.
Let me bleed, but don’t betray me,
And know the fires that remade me.
Let me be strong, let me be free,
Just be the roots beneath my tree.
[Verse 3]
Don’t lay your hands on my broken wings,
I’ve learned how to fly through suffering.
I don’t need a rescue, I don’t need chains,
Just walk beside me, don’t pull on my reins.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not a damsel, I’m not afraid,
I’ve fought my battles and never swayed.
[Chorus]
I don’t want you to save me,
Just promise you won’t trade me.
Let me bleed, but don’t betray me,
And know the fires that remade me.
Let me be strong, let me be free,
Just be the roots beneath my tree.
[Verse 4]
Don’t need a parachute when I take a dive,
Don’t need a lighthouse to keep me alive.
Know how to swim, I know how to stand,
Just need your voice, and your hand.
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me rise, even if I crawl.
But stand by me, even if I fall.
[Chorus]
I don’t want you to save me,
Just stay when it’s messy,
Don’t carry my weight, don’t rewrite my lines,
Just walk in the dark with your hand in mine.
Be my quiet strength when I swim upstream.
Just stand by my side when I chase my dream.
I’ll rise on my own, I always do—
But I want to rise beside you.
[Verse 5]
Don’t lift me higher, don’t drag me down,
Just stay right here, be my solid ground.
Just love me through my fiercest days,
And hold my heart in quiet ways.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t take the wheel from my hands,
Just ride with me through shifting sands.
Just stay in the moment, don’t make demands.
And trust I know where my heart stands.
