[Intro]
Yeah
Piece by piece
Uh
Listen
[Verse 1]
Used to sleep under a quilt my grandma stitched
Every square had a story, every seam was a gift
She said, “Love is like this, it can tear, it can rip
But you thread it back together when it slips from your grip”
I been cut by the edges of a broken trust
Kept my chest locked tight, covered up in rust
Said “never again,” let my feelings collect dust
Swore off faith, started calling it luck
But every time I push you, you don’t push back
You just stand in the doorway, waiting where I’m at
Hands open, like “Baby, we can fix that crack”
Like you brought new fabric for the spots gone black
[Chorus]
Quilt melody, stitch my heart in time
Patchwork love, let the colors all align
I was torn up, thought I’d never feel again
But I’m learning how to trust, how to love again
Quilt melody, hold these scars so tight
Sew my shadows to a little bit of light
I was all numb, thought the damage had no end
Now I’m learning how to trust, how to love again
[Verse 2]
I got doubts in my veins, yeah, they run real cold
Every “sorry” in my past turned heavy and old
Every promise I believed turned quiet and dull
Now I’m scared of the warmth, scared of losing control
But you don’t rush the healing, you just hum that tune
Little laugh in the kitchen, Sunday afternoon
You don’t ask for perfection, just some honest truth
Like, “Tell me where it hurts, I’ll sit there with you”
So I unpack my fears, let you see the fray
All the jagged little pieces that I tucked away
You don’t flinch, you just say, “We can start today
Take the needle to the pain, I ain’t gonna walk away”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Hands shake when I reach
For something that can break me
But you smile like a sunrise
Like, “Look what we can make, see?”
[spoken]
If love is just fabric
Then let’s cut it, let’s shape it
I’ll bring all my damage
If you’re down to remake it
[crescendo]
Every tear, every thread
Every doubt in my head
You just weave it in the pattern
Turn the hurt into a bed
[Chorus]
