For love

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
