[Verse 1]
You walked in, same eyes
New scars, same sky
We laughed at the years
But there’s weight in your smile
You said, “I learned to sleep
Next to questions, side of the bed”
I said, “I learned to eat
With the future filled with regret”
[Pre-Chorus]
We can’t rewind the tape
We can only hit play
I’m not saying it’s safe
I’m saying I’ll stay
[Chorus]
We’re going back to the hard way
But your hand’s in mine, and that’s okay
It won’t be easy, it won’t be clean
But this love is raw, this love is real
Yeah, we’re choosing all the storms and rain
If it’s us again, I’ll take the pain
It won’t be perfect, it won’t be smooth
But this love is scarred, this love is true
[Verse 2]
I still talk too loud
You still shut down fast
We still light that fuse
Then pretend we don’t blast
But I know your tells
When you’re scared, you joke
And you know my hell
When I say “I’m fine,” I’m broke
[Pre-Chorus]
We can’t erase the break
We can only reframe
I’m not chasing the past
I’m speaking your name
[Chorus]
We’re going back to the hard way
But your hand’s in mine, and that’s okay
It won’t be easy, it won’t be clean
But this love is raw, this love is real
Yeah, we’re choosing all the storms and rain
If it’s us again, I’ll take the pain
It won’t be perfect, it won’t be smooth
But this love is scarred, this love is true
[Bridge]
[Beat drops, soft keys only]
We’ll fight, then fix it
Break, then build it
Lose our tempers
Then remember
That night on the floor
Both phones on mute
Tears in your hoodie
You said, “Please be the proof”
[Chorus]
We’re going back to the hard way
But your hand’s in mine, and that’s okay
It won’t be easy, it won’t be clean
But this love is raw, this love is real
Yeah, we’re choosing all the storms and rain
If it’s us again, I’ll take the pain
It won’t be perfect, it won’t be smooth
But this love is scarred, this love is true
This love is scarred
But it’s me and you
