I Lay My Heart Down - Arden Coley
Soft morning light on your sleeping face
Every breath you take slows my racing days
No grand promises, no perfect sound
Just this moment where my soul is found
I've walked through nights where hope felt thin
Carried quiet fears I never let in
Then you arrived like a gentle flame
Turning every silence into a name
Your hands speak truths I never knew
Your eyes see me the whole way through
No need for armor, no walls to defend
With you I don't pretend
If love is a place where the brave remain
I'm standing here unafraid
I lay my heart down in your care
Every fragile piece, every hidden prayer
No second thoughts, no safety net, now
I lay my heart down
I lay my heart down, no turning back
In the trust we build, in the love we have
If this is falling, let me fall somehow
I lay my heart down
You hear the cracks in my quiet voice
See the doubt, but you stay by choice
You don't rush me, you let me breathe
You believe in what we could be
Every scar I tried to hide
You treat like truth, not something to fight
In your presence, I finally see
Love doesn't ask for perfection from me
If tomorrow shakes the ground we're on
I'll be steady where I belong
I lay my heart down in your care
Every fragile piece, every hidden prayer
No second thoughts, no safety net, now
I lay my heart down
I lay my heart down, no turning back
In the trust we build, in the love we have
If this is falling, let me fall somehow
I lay my heart down
If the world grows loud and pulls us apart
I'll still know the sound of your heart
If the road gets long, if faith feels small
I'll choose you through it all
I don't need forever written in stone
Just your hand when I'm not strong
I don't need the stars to bow
I just need you here right now
So I lay my heart down
Open wide, no masks to wear, no place to hide
Every hope I've held till now
I lay my heart down
I lay my heart down, truth exposed
In the love that only deepens as it grows
If this is love, then I know how
I lay my heart down
No grand goodbye, no closing sound
Just two souls where love is found
Here in your arms, safe and unbound
I lay my heart down
