I hope someone is loving you well
Handling you with care and kindness
Though the past may be filled with many regrets
I hope someone is extending grace to you
Cause you deserve to be loved in soft ways
You deserve a love that makes you feel safe
Someone who sees you, someone who hears you
And holds you up
Someone who believes you, someone who stands with you
Through the tides
May the one you chose to spend your numbered days with
Be a champion for your heart
May they point you towards your better days
And give you space to spread your wings
Cause you deserve to be loved in soft ways
You deserve a love that makes you feel safe
Someone who sees you, someone who hears you
And holds you up
Someone who believes you, someone who stands with you
Through the tides
Bridge
May you release all the hurt and lies
All the hurt and lies
That bind you to fake love
May you release all the hurt and lies
All the hurt and lies
That bind you to fake love
For someone who sees you, someone who hears you
And holds you up
Someone who believes you, someone who stands with you
Through the tides
Someone who believes you, someone who stands with you
Through the tides
