Safe - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I could shave my head and you'd still think I'm pretty

Make a corny joke and you would laugh out loud

I could tell you when you've done something kinda shitty

And you would hear me out and stick around

I've been with people who saw me as a mother

I did their laundry, taught them how to regulate

You're not passive or reactive, you're buildin' healthy habits

You're my equal in every single way

I thought I was afraid of love, but with you, I don't flinch

It's hard for me to open up, it's easy to let you in

I'm takin' my time, tellin' the truth, attachin' the right way

For the first time in my life, I think I'm finally safe

I think I'm finally safe

I'm not used to someone listening when I'm talking

I'm not used to feeling comfy in bed

But here I am for the seventh night, my water glass is on your side

And I'm tearin' up as I watch you undress

I thought I was afraid of love, but with you, I don't flinch

It's hard for me to open up, it's easy to let you in

I'm takin' my time, tellin' the truth, attachin' the right way

For the first time in my life, I think I'm finally safe

I think I'm finally safe

I think I'm finally safe enough to fall apart

To have a breakdown in your arms

Safe enough to know I'm seen

To compromise, to be a team

Find the patterns, watch them change

The cycle's takin' a new shape

For the first time in my life, I think I'm finally safe
