Untitled

I didn’t fall for you in the light

It was late, and I was already tired

Hands shaking, trying not to admit

I was scared you’d see the parts I hide

You caught me mid-collapse

Not pretty, not healed

Just honest in a way

I didn’t know how to feel

Pre-Chorus

I said I wasn’t ready

You didn’t try to save me

You just stayed

Chorus

If this is love, it’s not the kind they write about

It’s quiet, it’s heavy, it’s staying when I shut down

It’s choosing each other when it hurts to be seen

Yeah, if this is love

It’s loving me through the pain in me

Verse 2

I’ve loved like a warning sign

Like I had one foot out the door

I learned how to leave before

I learned what staying was for

You don’t raise your voice

When I expect you to

You let the silence breathe

Instead of making me choose

Pre-Chorus

I flinch when things are steady

Still learning that safe doesn’t mean empty

And you wait

Chorus

If this is love, it doesn’t need to bleed

It doesn’t ask me to break just to prove I believe

It’s holding my hand when I don’t have the words

Yeah, if this is love

It’s loving me when I’m hurting first

Bridge

Some nights I’m all memory

Some nights I’m all scars

And I don’t need fixing

I just need you where you are

If I pull away, don’t chase

Just remind me I’m not alone

I’m unlearning survival

I’m learning a home

Chorus (soft, then build)

If this is love, it’s not loud or fast

It’s choosing the future over the past

It’s seeing the mess and not turning away

Yeah, if this is love

It’s loving me through the pain I don’t say

Outro

I didn’t fall for you whole

I fell in pieces, I fell in truth

And maybe that’s what love is

Not saving me —

Just staying while I learn how to choose you too
