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
