Safe soft love

Verse 1
Why is love so agonizing?
Why am I bleeding on the ground
When I should be flying?
I keep falling too fast, too deep,
And in the end
All I have left
Is their ghost in my memories.
So I hold these shattered pieces,
Stitching where the wound is.
I'm strong,
But I'm tired
Of giving my all
And being beaten.
Pre-Chorus
When I fall, I can cry,
Push through, bleed.
I could leave.
I could fall to my knees.
I could tell myself
I'm strong enough
To give myself
All the love I need.
But...
Chorus
I need someone to hold me.
Where is my safe, soft match?
Where is the heart that chooses me
When the world fades to black?
I'm tired of building homes
Inside hearts that never stay.
I don't need perfect.
I just need someone
Who won't walk away.
Who'll stay.
Verse 2
I've packed whole lifetimes into suitcases,
Watched old dreams disappear
Through bus window glass.
I said goodbye
To streets that knew my name,
To people I still love,
To chapters I never wanted to end.
Sometimes loving someone
Still means leaving them behind.
Sometimes surviving
Looks like walking away
With tears you never wanted to cry.
Pre-Chorus 2
Maybe healing
Doesn't sound like thunder.
Maybe it whispers,
"You've carried enough."
Maybe strength
Isn't never breaking.
Maybe strength
Is finally believing
You deserve gentle love.
Bridge
If my heart is a house,
Let the broken windows breathe.
Let the light come in
Where the cracks have always been.
I'm done mistaking chaos for chemistry.
Done calling pain my destiny.
If love finds me again,
Let it feel like peace.
Final Chorus
I need someone to hold me.
Where is my safe, soft match?
Where is the soul
That feels like coming home,
Not another crash?
I'll keep these stitched-up pieces.
I'll keep learning how to heal.
And if love comes softly,
If it comes honestly,
Maybe this time...
I'll believe it's real.
Outro
Why is love so agonizing?
Maybe someday...
It won't be.
