Verse
How am I supposed to love you when I can’t love myself?
Am I supposed to trust you when I don’t trust myself?
See, love’s a concept that’s all in my head,
Tossin’ and turnin’ in our little bed.
Tryna go back to where we first met,
Demons be playin’ inside of my head.
Tryna move past all the things that I said,
You deserve better, but got me instead.
I’m wearin’ a smile just to cover the scars,
Tellin’ you I’m okay while I’m fallin’ apart.
You keep on reachin’, I keep pullin’ away,
Afraid if you knew me, you wouldn’t stay.
Pre-Chorus
Girl, don’t mistake my silence for a lack of love,
I’m just fightin’ battles that I’m not enough.
Every time you hold me, I wanna let go,
Not because I don’t love you… I’m scared you’ll know.
Chorus
Can you love me through the pieces?
Through the nights I barely breathe?
When the mirror tells me lies,
Will you still believe in me?
‘Cause I’m still learnin’ how to heal,
Still chasin’ what don’t feel real.
If my heart breaks while it’s mendin’,
Promise this ain’t where we’re endin’.
Verse 2
Every “forever” gets caught in my throat,
So many feelings I never wrote.
You’re givin’ me heaven, I’m livin’ through hell,
How can I save us when I need help myself?
You kiss every wound that I try to hide,
Love me on days when I don’t like my life.
Maybe your heart sees what mine can’t find,
Maybe your love can teach me in time.
Outro
So if I stumble, don’t let go just yet,
I’m still becomin’ the man you first met.
Maybe someday when these shadows all fade,
I’ll love you the way you’ve loved me every day.
