When I'm angry, when I'm frightened, when I've had enough? Could you hold your ground while I come undone? See every scar and still not run? Could you love me when I'm impossible to love? Not the pretty parts—the damage and the dust If I show you every reason I distrust, Would you choose me, choose me, choose me as I am? [Verse 2] I can be a blade beneath a velvet sleeve I can make a battlefield from one goodbye I have left before you had the chance to leave Then hated you for watching me survive Some nights my skin feels borrowed from a stranger Some mornings I am braced for something bad I don't need a saint to pull me from the danger I need someone who knows the truth and stays [Pre-Chorus] I won't promise I am easy I won't promise I won't break But I can meet you in the open If you don't turn away [Chorus] Could you love me when I'm impossible to love? When I'm furious, defensive, when I'm scared of trust? Could you hear the door slam and remember us? See every scar and still not run? Could you love me when I'm impossible to love? Not the pretty parts—the damage and the dust If I show you every reason I distrust, Would you choose me, choose me, choose me as I am? [Bridge] Don't call me a project Don't make me your proof I am not a broken thing Waiting to be made new Stand beside the wreckage Let the silence tell the truth If my hands are shaking, Let them shake next to you [Final Chorus] Could you love me when I'm impossible to love? When I'm unraveling, when I am too much? Could you stay through every frightened rush? See every scar and still not run? Could you love me when I'm impossible to love? Not the pretty parts—the damage and the dust I will never ask you to become my crutch Just choose me, choose me, choose me as I am [Outro] Choose me when the room goes cold Choose me when I lose control Not to save me, not to cure me Just to know me, and still choose me
