Verse 1
You don’t knock, you just appear
Like air coming back to my lungs
You don’t swear we’ll last forever
You just ask me where I’m from
You’ve been silence in my sorrow
The reason I still feel
You don’t pull me from the bottom
You show me how to kneel
Pre-Chorus
You’re not fire, not the flame
You’re the warmth that stays
When everything else fades
Chorus
I don’t love you for the ending
Or the way you make me whole
I love you for the breaking
For the truth you never stole
That I’m alive, I’m alive
Even when it hurts
I don’t love someone through you
I love you first
Verse 2
You’ve worn a thousand faces
Some were close, some disappeared
But every time I lost my faith
You were still here
You don’t pull, you don’t demand
You don’t need to own my chest
You just open up your hands
And let my heart find rest
Pre-Chorus
You’re not the cure, not the proof
You’re the truth
I choose
Chorus
I don’t love you for forever
Or the way you make me feel
I love you for the moments
That remind me I’m still real
That I can bleed, that I can burn
Still be soft inside
I don’t love someone through you
I love you as you are
Bridge
If you leave, I won’t resent you
If you stay, I won’t pretend
You don’t owe me any answers
You just ask me to begin
Again
Again
Chorus
I don’t love you for the saving
Or the nights you hold me close
I love you for existing
Even when it hurts the most
When you stay, when you go
When you cost me everything
I don’t love you for the story
I love you for the thing
Outro
If I lose you, I’ll still thank you
For teaching me to feel
I loved you for no reason
And that’s how I know it’s real
