Soft Ruins

(Verse 1)

I remember when your love felt like a fire

Burning soft, but it slowly lost its light

You broke me in a way I couldn’t name

Left me dancing with the ghost of what we were

(Pre-Chorus)

But now you stand here, different somehow

Like the man I dreamed about

And I don’t know if I can trust

But I don’t wanna give you up

(Chorus)

So I’m picking up the pieces of us

Like a puzzle in the dark

Trying to remember how to love

The way I did from the start

Every scar you left in me

Now you’re kissing tenderly

I’m learning how to feel again

Even if it falls apart

(Verse 2)

You say you’ve changed, I see it in your eyes

In the way you hold me like I’m still your home

But there’s a silence living in my chest

Where your name used to echo endlessly

(Pre-Chorus)

Still I let you trace my broken lines

Hoping time will realign

Every shattered piece of trust

Into something strong enough

(Chorus)

So I’m picking up the pieces of us

Like a puzzle in the dark

Trying to remember how to love

The way I did from the start

Every scar you left in me

Now you’re kissing tenderly

I’m learning how to feel again

Even if it falls apart

(Bridge)

Maybe love’s not what it used to be

But something softer, bittersweet

A fragile kind of poetry

That only hearts like ours can read

(Outro)

So stay…

While I learn your love again

Piece by piece, until the end
