**Verse 1**

I don’t need permission to bleed this loud

I’ve got a heart that won’t back down

I don’t need a mirror to know I’m real

I just need your hands to help me feel

---

**Verse 2**

I don’t need a map to find your skin

I don’t need a god to let me sin

I don’t need a reason to fall this fast

I just need your voice to make it last

---

**Chorus**

So fuck the shame, fuck the fear

I’m not hiding, I’m right here

You make the chaos feel like grace

I’d burn the world to touch your face

---

**Verse 3**

I don’t need a label to scream your name

I don’t need a cure for all this pain

I don’t need a script to play this part

I just need your kiss to start my heart

---

**Bridge**

I’m not asking, I’m not tame

I’m not sorry for this flame

I’m not broken, I’m not weak

I’m the fire that learned to speak

---

**Verse 4**

I don’t need the silence to feel alone

I’ve carved your name into my bones

I don’t need the world to understand

I just need your,

holy hands

---

**Verse 5**

I don’t need the stars to light my way

You’re the riot in my everyday

I don’t need the past to make me whole

I just need your love to wreck my soul

---

**Final Chorus**

So fuck the shame, fuck the fear

I’m not hiding, I’m right here

You make the chaos feel like grace

I’d burn the world to touch your face

I’d break my bones to feel your breath

I’d scream your name until my death

---

**Outro (spoken, over fading guitar feedback)**

I never asked for permission.

I asked for you. [spoken]

*“I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.”*
