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
