[Verse 1]
I count my flaws like coins
Spill them on the floor
I know every sharp edge
I keep a list, and more
When I look in the glass
I turn away too fast
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m tired of this war
Tired of keeping score
If I can’t be my own home
Then what am I fighting for?
[Chorus]
How could I love anyone?
How could I let you in?
I hate the way I talk to me
I hate the shape I’m in
But hear me now, I’m still here
Still breathing through the rain
Maybe love starts small
Maybe love learns my name (learns my name)
[Verse 2]
I wear my shame like skin
Try to hide it well
Smile when you ask me how I am
Then I don’t even tell
But some nights I get so close
To calling myself by my real name
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m tired of this war
Tired of keeping score
If I can’t be my own home
Then what am I fighting for?
[Chorus]
How could I love anyone?
How could I let you in?
I hate the way I talk to me
I hate the shape I’m in
But hear me now, I’m still here
Still breathing through the rain
Maybe love starts small
Maybe love learns my name (learns my name)
[Bridge]
So I’m starting with one hand
On the hurt inside my chest
Not fixing every broken thing
Just letting it rest
If you stay, don’t save me
Just sit with me in time
I’m learning I am more than
The cruelest voice in mind
[Final Chorus]
How could I love anyone?
How could I let you in?
I hate the way I talk to me
I hate the shape I’m in
But hear me now, I’m still here
Still breathing through the rain
Maybe love starts small
Maybe love learns my name (learns my name)
Maybe love starts small
Maybe love learns my name
