HOME IN THE DARK

[Intro]
I learned to smile like armour, learned to breathe like theft
검은 밤에 내 이름을 접어, 주머니에 숨겼어
If love was a doorway, I stood outside it, left
Pretending I didn’t want it, pretending I was “sure”

[Verse 1]
I’ve been running from the thunder in my chest
Every truth I held too tightly, every breath I second-guessed
Tried to be the “perfect” version, tried to pass every test
But the mirror saw me splinter, step by step by step

Then you found me in the wreckage I kept under lock and key
Didn’t ask me to be louder, just stayed close and let me breathe
너는 내 침묵을 안고 “괜찮아”라고 말해
Like my heart was something human, not a rumour, not a shame

[Pre]
They warned me love would ruin me, make a spectacle of scars
They said keep it clean, keep it quiet, keep it out of bars
said boys like me don’t deserve to love
그래도 너의 목소리만은 나를 살게 해

[Chorus]
So I’ll meet you in the dark, where the truth lives in our hands
Where the world can’t pull us under, where I finally get to stand
If the sky breaks into pieces, I’ll still want you where you are
‘Cause I’ve been lost in every place except the place you are
And if loving you is dangerous, I’ll take the fire, the sparks
너는 내가 찾은 집이야, my home in the dark

[Verse 2]
Every whisper feels like warning, every headline feels like flame
I’ve been painted as a question, like a fault without a name
But you touch me like I’m real, not a story to explain
And I feel sunlight in my ribs when you say my name

I’ve been scared of being open, scared of choosing my own skin
Built a hundred walls of “logic” just to keep the soft part in
너는 벽을 부수지 않아, 그냥 문을 열어줘
And somehow that is braver than a storm kicking the door

[Pre]
They said the things we love can cost too much
Said a boy like me should never ask for touch
But you call my name and I feel enough
처음으로 나도 나를 믿어

[Chorus]
So I’ll meet you in the dark, where the truth lives in our hands
Where the fear becomes a whisper and your voice says who I am
If the sky breaks into pieces, I won’t run, I’ll make my stand
‘Cause you taught my shaking heartbeat how to hold a steady hand
And if loving you is dangerous, I’ll wear the smoke, the scars
너는 내가 선택한 빛이야, my home in the dark

[Bridge]
Let them twist what they see, let them call it forbidden
I’ve been drowning in their echo, but you pulled me out to living
세상이 등을 돌려도, 난 너를 놓지 않아
If they wage their quiet wars, we’ll still be warm in the dark

[Outro]
You’re the place I stop the running
You’re the quiet after sparks
If the world forgets my name
I’ll still find you—
in the dark
