Disrepair

Verse 1

Everyone’s broken, some just hide it neat

Polished little smiles, scuffed up feet

We fall apart in ordinary ways

Quiet explosions, everyday grenades

They say take your time, you’ll heal just fine

Like pain’s a puzzle with a printed line

But I’ve been staring at the floor too long

These pieces swear they don’t belong

Pre-Chorus

I tried forgiveness, tried belief

Tried pretending cracks mean relief

Chorus

Everyone’s broken, yeah, every one of us

We pick up the pieces but they don’t line up

You can glue it together, call it repaired

But the picture’s wrong and the gaps still there

We don’t shatter clean, we don’t fit back right

We just learn how to live with the jagged sides

Verse 2

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you strong

But it just makes you careful, bitter, numb

I’ve seen brave hearts fold like paper cranes

Still flying, but never the same

You keep the parts that still can feel

You bury the ones that cut too real

And every love leaves a missing bit

A corner gone you can’t replace with shit

Pre-Chorus

I trace the scars like a map of war

Can’t tell what I was before

Chorus

Everyone’s broken, yeah, every one of us

We sweep ourselves up and call it trust

You can fake the shape, you can fake the seam

But the mirror knows what you used to be

We don’t shatter clean, we don’t fit back right

We just bleed less with the passing nights

Bridge

Some cracks whistle when the wind comes through

Some only show when the light hits you

You can love me crooked, love me flawed

But don’t swear I’ll be restored

I’m not a promise, I’m not a plan

I’m what survived when it all went bad

Look, in the East they got this way of seeing things different

When the ceramic hits the floor, they don't treat it like a victim

They don't trash the fragments or try to hide the mess

They call it Kintsugi—it’s a trial, it’s a test

See, they take the lacquer, and they mix it with the gold

To highlight every fracture and the story that it told

They don't want the 'perfect' back, they want the 'honest' version

The value’s in the breaking and the beauty of the hurtin’

So let the seams glow, let the metal fill the void

You’re a masterpiece constructed from the parts that were destroyed

It ain't about the healing just to look like what you were

It’s about the shine you get from everything you had to endure

I’m not whole

I’m not fixed

I’m what’s left

And that’s it

Chorus

Everyone’s broken, don’t lie to me

We’re mosaics made of lost debris

You can frame the damage, hang it proud

But the silence still screams loud

We don’t shatter clean, we don’t fit back right

We just hold on through another night

Outro

If I still stand, don’t call it grace

I just learned how to wear the breaks

Not whole—

But here.
