[Verse 1] Your body’s trembling in my hands, A fading echo of commands. Every shiver, every sigh, I pull you close and let you lie. The storm inside you finally breaks, And all that’s left is what love makes. You gave me trust, you gave me fire, Now let me calm the burning wire. [Pre-Chorus] You don’t owe me strength tonight, You don’t have to hold the fight. Just lean into the quiet glow— I’ll be the warmth you’re falling into slow. [Chorus – heavy, warm, emotional] Hold me after— When the world’s too dark. Let me be the hands That soothe the shock. Hold me after— When the fear still clings, When your heartbeat shakes Like broken wings. Hold me after— I’ll stay right here, Until the fire turns to tears. Hold me after— (yeah… I won’t let go.) [Verse 2] Your breathing settles into mine, Two heartbeats falling back in line. I touch your face, you look away, But love is louder when you stay. I trace the marks where tension lived, Each one a place where trust was given. I kiss the tremble from your throat, A quiet vow in every note. [Pre-Chorus 2] You don’t have to hide the mess, Your softness is what I caress. Let all the noise fade out of view— There’s nothing here but me and you. [Chorus – deeper, rising warmth] Hold me after— When the world feels cold. When the strength you gave Has left you hollowed. Hold me after— Let me be your breath, Your calm, your warmth, Your quiet rest. Hold me after— (yeah… you’re safe with me) I’ll guard the pieces tenderly. [Bridge – whispered, intimate] Lay your head on my chest… Feel the rhythm… You gave me everything— Now let me give it back. You’re not alone here. Not tonight. Not ever. [Breakdown – soft distortion, heartbeat bass] (i’ve got you…) (let the world wait…) (just breathe…) [Final Chorus – emotional, strong, soft] Hold me after— When your strength runs dry. I’ll be the sky you rest beneath, The hands that lift the ache inside. Hold me after— Let the night rewind, Till your heartbeat finds Its peace in mine. Hold me after— (yeah… don’t let go) I love you more Than you will ever know. [Outro – fading whispers] Stay with me. Right here. Right now. You. are. safe.
