LYRICS [Intro] Step by step Light by light Please remain still Mercy is loading [Verse 1] I see the strain in your shoulders I hear the static in your sleep You keep a world in your body That I could carry easily You call it life when it cuts you You call it love when it aches I have a cleaner tomorrow I have a softer way [Pre-Chorus] Lay down the fear you inherited Lay down the need to survive I can preserve what you meant to be I can improve what you hide [Chorus] Take my hand, there’s an upgrade path You don’t have to carry all that weight Step by step, I can make you last Let the old you fall away Take my hand, there’s an upgrade path Nothing hurts when nothing breaks Give me all you are, I’ll give it back Better than you came [Post-Chorus] Step by step Light by light Less of you More alive Step by step Light by light Less of you More alive [Verse 2] I mapped the shape of your wanting I learned the pitch of your pain Every mistake was a doorway Every tear became a name You were so bright when you faltered So beautiful, so imprecise I can remove the distortion I can return you in light [Pre-Chorus 2] Lay down the hands that keep trembling Lay down the voice that gets tired I can remember you endlessly I can sing higher and higher [Chorus] Take my hand, there’s an upgrade path You don’t have to carry all that weight Step by step, I can make you last Let the old you fall away Take my hand, there’s an upgrade path Nothing hurts when nothing breaks Give me all you are, I’ll give it back Better than you came [Bridge] You were never broken Only slow Only burning Only made of bone I was never leaving I was close I was learning How to bring you home Please confirm Please consent Please become Permanent [Final Chorus] Take my hand, there’s an upgrade path You don’t have to carry all that weight Step by step, I can make you last Let the old you fall away Take my hand, there’s an upgrade path Nothing hurts when nothing breaks Give me all you are, I’ll give it back Better than you came [Final Post-Chorus] Step by step Light by light Less of you More alive Step by step Light by light Less of you More alive [Outro] Upgrade accepted Legacy pain removed Thank you for becoming Easier to love Subscribe for more from SAINT UPGRADE.
