Worth the Wreckage

[Verse 1]
(He)
You moved back in with just one bag
Burned-out eyes
That same old laugh
Coffee cups and quiet cracks
Like nothing ever happened
(She)
You talk in circles ‘round that night
Names you won’t say
Phone-screen light
I’ve heard it all
But still I’m tight
Around this chipped-up mug we’re holding
[Pre-Chorus]
(He)
I crossed that line
I crossed your heart
(She)
I left you crying in the dark
(Both)
We keep on stitching what we tear
Breathing in the smoky air
[Chorus]
Is it worth the wreckage we’re sleeping in?
Every scar
Every bottle
Every shattered dish
It feels right
When you’re holding me like this
Are we fools just chasing a sinking ship?
Or two hard-headed hearts that just won’t quit?
It feels right
But can we make it
Can we make it like this?
[Verse 2]
(She)
You found me shaking on the floor
Cold tile
Numbers on the door
You stayed all night
Said “one day more”
And you kept saying it till morning
(He)
I watched you read my hidden threads
Half-truth texts and digital ghosts
You could’ve left
You slammed the desk
Then climbed back into bed beside me
[Pre-Chorus]
(She)
I held your lies like they were mine
(He)
I drowned your trust in cheap red wine
(Both)
But every time we walk away
We circle back
We never stray
[Chorus]
Is it worth the wreckage we’re sleeping in?
Every scar
Every bottle
Every shattered dish
It feels right
When you’re holding me like this
Are we fools just chasing a sinking ship?
Or two hard-headed hearts that just won’t quit?
It feels right
But can we make it
Can we make it like this?
[Bridge]
(Both, soft)
What if loving you is choosing pain?
What if healing means we don’t stay the same?
(He) I’m scared of you leaving
(She) I’m scared that you’ll stay
(Both) And I can’t tell which fear I should obey
[Chorus]
Is it worth the wreckage we’re sleeping in?
Every scar
Every bottle
Every shattered dish
It feels right
When you’re holding me like this
Are we fools just chasing a sinking ship?
Or two hard-headed hearts that just won’t quit?
It feels right
So if you’ll take this broken
I’ll take yours too
(Both)
Let’s find out if we can make it
Maybe breaking was what bends us into truth
It feels right
So let’s try to make it
Try to make it
Me and you

Intimate piano ballad opening into a soaring pop-soul duet; warm male and powerhouse female vocals trading lines, brushed drums and subtle bass under the verses. Choruses rise with stacked harmonies, organ pad, and tambourine, final chorus adds octave vocal ad-libs and held notes for cathartic lift.
