Lyrics
The words.
**[Verse 1]**
I spent so long pretending
I could carry all the weight
Built a thousand little kingdoms
Just to keep my heart awake
Then you found the quiet places
I was hiding from the light
Never asked me to be stronger
Only asked me to be mine
**[Pre-Chorus]**
You don't pull me under
You teach me how to fall
Into something softer
Than I've ever known at all
**[Chorus]**
Hold the stars for me
While I close my eyes
Let your heartbeat be the compass
When I lose the sky
Call me closer
Tell me I'm alright
I don't need to rule the heavens
When I'm safe inside your light
Take my restless hands
Lay them into yours
I was never looking for a throne
I was looking for our world
Hold the stars for me
Tonight
**[Verse 2]**
I don't melt from weakness
I melt because I trust
Every wall I built for shelter
Turns to diamonds in your touch
You don't ask me to surrender
You wait until I choose
And somehow that makes me braver
Every time I turn to you
**[Pre-Chorus]**
Guide me with your silence
Steady as the sea
Every whispered "good girl"
Feels like coming home to me
**[Chorus]**
Hold the stars for me
While I close my eyes
Let your heartbeat be the compass
When I lose the sky
Tell me slower
Stay with me tonight
I don't need to chase tomorrow
When your hand is holding mine
Take my racing thoughts
Lay them all to rest
Every piece of who I am
Feels beautiful when blessed
Hold the stars for me
Tonight
**[Bridge]**
I'm not giving up myself
I'm finally letting go
Of all the voices telling me
I always need control
If love can be a shelter
Then let this be our place
Where strength is found in softness
And courage wears your grace
**[Final Chorus]**
Hold the stars for me
Until the morning comes
If the whole world fades to shadows
You're still my rising sun
Love me gently
Lead me when I shake
Every dream I've ever carried
Feels lighter in your wake
If forever starts somewhere
Let it start right here
Not because I'm less without you
But because with you I disappear... into peace
Hold the stars for me
Hold my heart for me
Hold... me.
I spent so long pretending
I could carry all the weight
Built a thousand little kingdoms
Just to keep my heart awake
Then you found the quiet places
I was hiding from the light
Never asked me to be stronger
Only asked me to be mine
**[Pre-Chorus]**
You don't pull me under
You teach me how to fall
Into something softer
Than I've ever known at all
**[Chorus]**
Hold the stars for me
While I close my eyes
Let your heartbeat be the compass
When I lose the sky
Call me closer
Tell me I'm alright
I don't need to rule the heavens
When I'm safe inside your light
Take my restless hands
Lay them into yours
I was never looking for a throne
I was looking for our world
Hold the stars for me
Tonight
**[Verse 2]**

I melt because I trust
Every wall I built for shelter

Hold the stars for me
Hold my heart for me
Hold... me.
