From the recording I'd Still Come Back to You (Trap Music)
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
First time I clocked you, whole room went still
I don't catch feelings, I move with will
Heart been frozen from the things I've seen
Too many fake ones dressed up clean
Came from nights where you sleep half-awake
Trust gets taxed and love turns fake
Then you came close, got under my guard
Made a cold man's heartbeat hit hard
I don't hand out trust, I don't give out keys
But you walked through walls nobody could breach
Now I'm thinking 'bout things I never would plan
Got a street-minded man wanting more than the bands
[Chorus]
In your arms, I can finally breathe
No mask on my face, nothing up my sleeve
Outside I'm cold, I don't show them my scars
But I drop every guard when I'm in your arms
In your arms, I ain't watching my back
No pressure, no enemies, none of that
Let the whole world turn, let everything go wrong
I know where I'm safe
In your arms
[Verse 2]
Put your head on my chest, let the whole night pass
I know you've been hurt, you don't gotta unpack
I can tell by your eyes when you're saying you're fine
You smile for the world while you're breaking inside
I ain't promising fantasies dressed up sweet
I'm saying if it's war, then you're standing with me
I've seen brothers switch over money and pride
Seen love turn fake with a smile and a lie
So when I say you're mine, I don't say it for show
I'm there when it's heavy, I'm there when it's low
I don't need ten girls giving temporary love
I'd rather have one real one when the pressure gets rough
[Verse 3]
I know how it feels when the trust gets killed
When somebody says love but their heart ain't real
That's why every move that I make is precise
Paid for my lessons, I don't learn them twice
You pull away quick when you're scared it'll end
Then come back close when you know I'm your man
I won't force your trust, I'll just prove what I mean
Consistency louder than anything I could speak
Your smile got power, you don't even know
Makes a man with a dark past loosen his soul
I was built for the grind, addicted to wins
Never thought I'd let somebody under my skin
[Chorus]
In your arms, I can finally breathe
No mask on my face, nothing up my sleeve
Outside I'm cold, I don't show them my scars
But I drop every guard when I'm in your arms
In your arms, I ain't watching my back
No pressure, no enemies, none of that
Let the whole world turn, let everything go wrong
I know where I'm safe
In your arms
[Verse 4]
I ain't perfect, got dirt on my shoes
Made bad decisions with nothing to lose
Been ruthless when life gave no other route
Learned how to stand when they counted me out
Got pride in my blood, got scars in my head
Got memories I bury instead of forget
Sometimes when I'm distant, it ain't about you
I'm fighting old wars that I already lived through
Still you stay right there, never making it loud
Never use my weakness to tear a man down
That's rare where I'm from, so I hold that close
You're the only one seeing the side I don't show
[Bridge]
Outside, I'm stone
With you, I'm home
Outside, I'm war
You give me more
I can take pressure
I can take loss
I've carried the weight
Whatever the cost
But losing your love?
That's one I don't want
So come here
Stay close
Stay in my arms
[Final Chorus]
In your arms, I can finally breathe
No ghosts from the past coming after me
Spent half my life acting like nothing was wrong
Now the strongest I've felt is inside your arms
In your arms, that's the place I choose
If it's you versus pride, then my pride can lose
Let them talk all they want, I don't care what they thought
A real man protects what can never be bought
In your arms
That's where I belong
In your arms
When the whole world's wrong
You are the peace
I've been searching for all along
And if I get forever
I want it in your arms
