[Verse 1]
Twenty-nine and rattled
Rent due, phone on red
I smile at cute strangers
Then stare at my own bed
My friends all say, "You'll get there"
But nights keep splitting thin
I’m holding broken hourglasses
With sand spilling through my skin
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep trying to be easy
I keep trying to be strong
But every time I touch the future
Something in me comes apart
[Chorus]
I want love, I want love
I want someone who stays
I want love, I want love
When my whole world shakes
Pick me up, pick me up
From the floor where I fell
I want love, I want love
And I don't know how to help (how to help)
[Verse 2]
There’s a cracked mirror witness
A stack of unpaid plans
A half-packed bag by the door
And a tremble in my hands
I laugh too loud at parties
Like that can make me new
But later in the bathroom
I still look right through me too
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep trying to be easy
I keep trying to be brave
But every dream I build up
Turns to dust in my lap
[Chorus]
I want love, I want love
I want someone who stays
I want love, I want love
When my whole world shakes
Pick me up, pick me up
From the floor where I fell
I want love, I want love
And I don't know how to help (how to help)
[Bridge]
Maybe healing isn't pretty
Maybe hope looks like this
Two steps, one bad morning
One more chance to exist
If you find me in the rubble
Don't ask me to be fine
Just hold the messy pieces
And let me take my time
[Final Chorus]
I want love, I want love
I want someone who stays
I want love, I want love
Even on my worst days
Pick me up, pick me up
From the floor where I fell
I want love, I want love
And I don't know how to help
I want love, I want love
I want love, I want love (stay with me)
