Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You loved me at my lowest Mascara on my shame, heart in a sink Phone lit up like a warning You said, “Breathe first, then speak” You held my history gently Didn’t flinch at the fractures I bring Said, “We ain’t fixing you, we’re listening” That line alone changed everything [Chorus] This is that roots of forever love Patient like rivers that carve through stone Hold me when I’m hard to love Teach me I was never alone You see the kid still hiding inside You don’t rush the time it takes to heal This is that stay-when-the-storm-comes love The kind that makes the broken start to feel (oh yeah) [Verse 2] You don’t throw my failures at me You frame ‘em as chapters we read Circle the parts I keep skipping Say, “Right here, that’s where you bleed” You taught me, “I’m sorry” is action Not flowers over the mess Sitting in silence beside me Letting my anger confess You call my triggers by name So I don’t have to fight them alone You say, “Forgive you like you’re younger Talking to you on the phone” Now I talk softer to myself Like I’m someone worth the wait You showed me love isn’t perfect It’s present, even when it’s late (hey) [Chorus] This is that roots of forever love Patient like rivers that carve through stone Hold me when I’m hard to love Teach me I was never alone You see the kid still hiding inside You don’t rush the time it takes to heal This is that stay-when-the-storm-comes love The kind that makes the broken start to feel [Bridge] You said, “We don’t keep score here We keep stories and we keep trying” You saw the parts I kept burying Loved the me I was denying (oh) If leaving is easy, staying is skill You’re the quiet proof that it’s real Now I’m learning to love like you Giving the grace I got from you to myself [Chorus] This is that roots of forever love Patient like rivers that carve through stone Hold me when I’m hard to love Teach me I was never alone You see the kid still hiding inside You don’t rush the time it takes to heal This is that stay-when-the-storm-comes love The kind that makes the broken start to feel The kind that makes the broken start to feel
