[Verse 1]
I had the date picked out
Quiet plan
Locked phone
Staring at the ceiling
Calling the dark my home
You knocked on that silence
Pulled a chair to my storm
Said
"You don't have to vanish
You can rage and still transform"
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands on my shoulders
Said
"Breathe
Just breathe"
I was halfway gone when
You leaned in and chose me
[Chorus]
I was supposed to leave this place
Fade to black
Erase my name
But you reached in
Pulled me out of the cave
Now I'm learning how to stay
I will live
I will live for you
Even though my heart still breaks
For the love I lost on the way
I will live
I will live for you
[Verse 2]
We walk past our old spots
Ghosts in every street
Her laugh in the window
Burns holes in my sleep
I loved her like a first song
Played it till it bent
Now it aches like a tattoo
That I never meant
[Pre-Chorus]
You hold my shaking hands
As the memories bleed
Say
"You can miss what you had
And still choose what you need"
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I was so sure it ended there
Bathroom floor
Blank stare
Now I count your quiet care
Like proof I'm still repairable
I lost her
I lost me
But somehow you still choose to see
Every shattered piece
As something beautiful
[Chorus]
