Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I grew up where shouting
Was how you said “I care”
Where “I'm fine” meant “I'm hurting”
But nobody dared
All I saw was distance
Cold eyes at the table
So how am I supposed to
Love you like I'm able?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm scared of my reflection
When you ask for more
Heart starts second guessing
Like it's war
Not war
[Chorus]
I'm learning how to love you
Like you deserve to be
With soft hands
Soft words
Letting you lean on me
I never had a blueprint
For holding someone true
But I'm unlearning all my damage
Just to make a safer room for you
[Verse 2]
I used to think tenderness
Was just a losing game
If you got too open
They would drown you in shame
But you move so gentle
You don't raise your voice
You show me that kindness
Can be a choice
[Pre-Chorus]
You ask me what I'm feeling
Not what I did wrong
You tell me I am worthy
And I start to believe you in this song
[Chorus]
I'm learning how to love you
Like you deserve to be
With soft hands
Soft words
Letting you lean on me
I never had a blueprint
For holding someone true
But I'm unlearning all my damage
Just to make a safer room for you
[Bridge]
If I flinch when you touch me
Baby
It's not you (not you)
It's all the ghosts in my body
Leaving
One by one
With you
Teach me how to listen
Not just to react
Show me how respect feels
And I'll give that feeling back (back, back)
[Chorus]
I'm learning how to love you
Like you deserve to be
With soft hands
Soft words
Letting you lean on me
I never had a blueprint
But I'm building something new
A home that holds compassion
Where I can finally love me
And still have room for you (yeah)
