Born From Our Ruins

(Verse 1)

We were reckless in a velvet haze

Falling hard in the strangest ways

You were love I could never hold

Too much fire, too uncontrolled

I whispered prayers in quiet rooms

Begged for a change I thought wouldn’t bloom

Said, “Make him stay, make him true”

Never thought it would lead to you

(Pre-Chorus)

Time rewrote what we used to be

Now you’re everything I believed

(Chorus)

Now we’re counting down to forever

With your promise resting in mine

All the chaos we carried together

Feels like it led to this time

We were born from our ruins, you and me

Every scar turned into something we need

And though my heart still shakes sometimes

I’m ready for all our lifetimes

(Verse 2)

We talk about days we haven’t lived

Little things that we want to give

Names and dreams in a fragile glow

Building a life we don’t yet know

And I see it in how you’ve changed

In every word, in every way

You became what I asked above

A steady home, a patient love

(Pre-Chorus)

I still feel shadows of our past

But your arms make them never last

(Chorus)

Now we’re counting down to forever

With your promise resting in mine

All the nights we broke under pressure

Turn to something divine

You’re the man that I prayed you’d be

Everything you are to me

And though fear still lives in my chest

I believe this love knows best

(Bridge)

Maybe I’m scared it’s too good to keep

Like a fragile dream I shouldn’t dream

But you hold me like you won’t leave

Like you finally believe

And if love is a risk we take

I’ll take it with every mistake

Not because it’s safe or certain

But because you’re worth it

(Outro)

So here we are, on the edge of always

With a future we softly trace

And if this is where prayers come true

Then I’m not afraid with you
