Unexpected Ground

Your laugh cuts the silence like light through rain

I flinch at kindness,

expecting the pain

These small moments you offer feel too real to hold

Terrified this safety will shatter like before (ahhh)

I keep waiting for the fall

But you stay, steady through it all

You became my unexpected ground

When the world kept letting me down

Terrified of this warmth I found

Yet your teasing smile pulls me around (yeah)

Your playful jabs catch me off guard

Healing wounds I thought were too scarred

I brace for the lie that never comes

Your care lingers when I expect none (ooh)

You became my unexpected ground

When the world kept letting me down

Terrified of this warmth I found

Yet your teasing smile pulls me around (yeah)

Safety feels strange after all the lies

But your hands don't hide any disguise

I want to trust this fragile light Even if it breaks me

open tonight

You became my unexpected ground

When the world kept letting me down

Terrified of this warmth I found

Yet your teasing smile pulls me around (ooh)
