[Verse 1]
You learned my favorite fears
Turned them into little trophies on your shelf
You called it love
Called it “just how I am”
Till I almost disappeared inside myself
I memorized your weather
Tiptoed through your every changing storm
Forgot that I was human
Thought survival was the same as being warm
[Pre-Chorus]
I told my friends I’m fine
I’m fine
(while I rewrote my own mind)
Said I’d never trust again
Then someone touched my hand and
[Chorus]
After all that damage
Look at what love can do
Thought my heart was totaled
Now it’s driving straight to you
You don’t need my silence
You don’t feed on every bruise
After all that damage
I finally found the truth
I finally found you
[Verse 2]
You don’t keep a quiet score
When I’m late
You just ask if I’m okay
You laugh when I lose my place
Say “slow down
We’ve got the whole damn day”
I still flinch at raised voices
Freeze up when a door slams in the hall
You sit beside my shaking
Say “that’s yours
But it’s not your fault at all”
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear his words inside my head
(your arms drown out what he said)
Didn’t know the way it feels
When someone’s love can help you heal
[Chorus]
After all that damage
Look at what love can do
Thought my heart was totaled
Now it’s driving straight to you
You don’t need my silence
You don’t feed on every bruise
After all that damage
I finally found the truth
I finally found you
[Bridge]
I’m done being the mirror
For somebody else’s cracks
I’m done apologizing
For the weight they put upon my back
You trace every broken line
Call them maps that led me here
You kiss the spots he hollowed out
Fill them up with years and years and years
[Chorus]
After all that damage
Look at what love can do
Thought my heart was totaled
Now it’s driving straight to you
You don’t need my silence
You don’t feed on every bruise
After all that damage
I finally found the truth
Yeah
After all that damage
I’m standing next to you
I finally found you (oh)
I finally found you
