Verse 1]
You met me at the edge of myself
Where the dead things go for help
Bare teeth, black lungs, hands shaking
From all the love I kept wasting
I was a flood with nowhere to go
A bad dream learning how to smoke
Half of me wanted to disappear
The other half just wanted you near
And you…
You looked at me like the wreckage was art
Like broken things still deserved a heart
I still don’t understand that kind of grace
But I drown in it anyway
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause every time I try to run
You press your forehead against mine
Like you can hear the war inside
And survive it
⸻
[Chorus]
If God could bleed
I think it’d look like me and you
Two ruined souls on borrowed time
Trying to make pain beautiful
And if hell exists
I’ve already touched the flame
It was watching you cry
Knowing I’m the reason you changed
But you still crawl into my arms at night
Still kiss me like I’m worth the fight
Like somehow love can live
Inside a man like this
⸻
[Verse 2]
I hear the exhaustion in your voice sometimes
The kind that comes from loving too hard
You carry me like a coffin through water
And still call it devotion
And I hate myself for every night
You’ve held me while I lost my mind
Every silence you had to translate
Every wound you didn’t create
You deserve soft things
Morning light
Peaceful sleep
A life untouched by men like me
But you stay here anyway
In this haunted house I call a heart
Lighting candles in the dark
Like you’re trying to teach death how to pray
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
So if I collapse beneath the weight
Of every mistake I’ve ever made
Promise me you’ll let the rain
Wash my name away gently
⸻
[Chorus]
If God could bleed
I think it’d sound like your heartbeat
Breaking the silence in my chest
When I can’t stand being me
And if love is real
It’s not clean or kind
It’s blood under fingernails
It’s staying when you should’ve left behind
You hold me like a funeral hymn
Like mourning and mercy can coexist
And every time you say my name
It feels like resurrection
⸻
[Bridge]
Maybe we were never meant
To survive this world untouched
Maybe love was always supposed
To hurt this much
But if the universe comes for me
If darkness finally swallows me whole
I’ll spend my last breath
Reaching through the void
Trying to find your soul
⸻
[Outro]
And when the earth forgets our bodies
When our shadows finally fade
I hope there’s some abandoned road
Somewhere past the grave
Where you find me again
In the dead of night
And say,
“There you are.”
Like no matter how many times I fall apart
You would always recognize
What’s left of my heart.
