[Verse 1]
You found the cracks I hid in my skin
Traced every fault like it was porcelain
You kiss the bruise instead of the blame
Say my full name
Like it's something holy
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep waiting for the warning
For the mask
For the morning
For the moment you look through me
And just see
What I see
[Chorus]
If you’re gonna love me
Ruin me gently
Hold all my monsters
Like they were meant to be
If you’re gonna stay here
Stay when it’s empty
Teach every broken part of me
Unconditional
Unconditional
Love me anyway
[Verse 2]
You sit in silence when the storms start inside
Count every tear like a passing street sign
You don’t turn away from the dark in my eyes
You just dim the lights
And pull me in closer
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep waiting for the echo
Of every door that slammed before
But you’re standing in the threshold
Bare feet on the cold floor
Saying
“I’m not leaving”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
What if I fail you
What if I fade
What if my hands start shaking
When I say your name
You trace a promise
Across my veins
“I loved you
Before the damage had a name” [low vocal register]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Lights off
Breath slow
Your heartbeat under my ear
If this is forever
Or gone by tomorrow
You’re still here
Unconditional
Unconditional
Love me here
