I Can Handle This One

I see the way you're looking through that glass
A life you think you'll never have
You're always running, pushing away
Too scared to ask if you can stay

You act like you don’t give a damn
But I know you, I understand
You think you’ve burned too many bridges
That you don’t deserve forgiveness

You gave me a home when I had none
Took my hand when I tried to run
You taught me how to stand and fight
But not every battle needs a gun tonight

I can handle this one, so put it down
You don’t have to carry the weight around
Not every target needs to bleed
Not every pain comes from greed
You don’t have to prove you’re strong
You’ve been fighting for too long
I can handle this one, yeah, I got this one

I know the ghosts you try to drown
The way you shake but won’t break down
You think that love’s just a loaded gun
But what if it’s been here all along?

You’re scared of losing, scared to feel
So you treat your heart like it’s made of steel
But even metal cracks with time
And you don’t have to fight this time

You gave me a home when I had none
Took my hand when I tried to run
You taught me how to stand and fight
But not every battle needs a gun tonight

I can handle this one, so put it down
You don’t have to carry the weight around
Not every target needs to bleed
Not every pain comes from greed
You don’t have to prove you’re strong
You’ve been fighting for too long
I can handle this one, yeah, I got this one

You always say you’re better off alone
But what if home’s been here all along?
You and me, yeah, we can be
Something more than broken dreams
You don’t have to run, not tonight
For once, let me make it right

I can handle this one, just let it go
You don’t have to walk this road alone
Not every scar has to be a fight
Not every loss means saying goodbye
You don’t have to be afraid
I’ll be here when the memories fade
I can handle this one, yeah, I got this one

Blitz, you’re okay sometimes
And maybe, just this once
Let me be the one to make it right
