[Verse 1]
I’d given up on love
Thought I knew how every story ends
Kept the door shut tight
Wouldn’t let anybody in
It was so hard just to let go
Of the years I couldn’t change
All the pain of my past
Had a grip I couldn’t break
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you looked beyond the damage
Past the armor I had made
You didn’t ask me to be fearless
You just stayed
[Chorus]
You saw me as a person
Not a monster, not the pain
You held my broken pieces
And you never looked away
You called me perfect
When I couldn’t say my name
You changed the way I see myself
I’ll never be the same
[Verse 2]
I was used to every promise
Turning into something cold
So I measured every kindness
By how fast it would let go
But you learned the parts I buried
Never made me feel ashamed
You found the heart beneath the wreckage
And you loved me through the change
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the past can keep its thunder
It can knock against the door
I’m not living like a stranger
To myself anymore
[Chorus]
You saw me as a person
Not a monster, not the pain
You held my broken pieces
And you never looked away
You called me perfect
When I couldn’t say my name
You changed the way I see myself
I’ll never be the same
[Bridge]
If I tremble, I can tell you
If I fall, you let me breathe
You don’t save me from my darkness
You remind me I can leave
[Final Chorus]
You saw me as a person
Not a monster, not the pain
You turned all my scars to proof
That I survived the flame
You called me perfect
And I finally believe your faith
You changed the way I see myself
I’ll never be the same
[Outro]
I’d given up on love
Then you taught my heart to stay
