I’ve spent too long trying to look unbroken While hiding everything beneath the same old frame. What I need is not another answer Or a perfect picture I can hold. I need someone who can see me clearly And stay when there’s nothing left to control. Take away the careful words, Leave the distance at the door. I don’t need another version Of what I’ve been looking for. Give me something we can keep, Something honest, something deep. Not a promise made to make the moment right, Not a feeling disappearing overnight. Let me know you when it hurts, When the silence does its worst. I don’t need a love that never bends, I need one that doesn't leave when it begins. There are days when I don't know myself And I have nothing clever left to say. Still, I’d rather show you all the pieces Than become somebody else just to make you stay. Let the fragile parts be visible, Let the difficult truths have room. If we're going to build something between us, It has to breathe without a costume. Put your fears beside my own, We don't have to hide them anymore. What matters isn't being fearless, It's knowing what we're staying for. Give me something we can keep, Something honest, something deep. Not a promise made to make the moment right, Not a feeling disappearing overnight. Let me know you when it hurts, When the silence does its worst. I don’t need a love that never bends, I need one that doesn't leave when it begins. Maybe love is less about the words And more about the choice we make. To remain when things get difficult, To listen when the easy answers break. Give me something we can keep, Something real enough to reach. No pretending that we're stronger than we are, No hiding every weakness in the dark. If you want to stand beside me, Let it be without disguise. I don't need a perfect kind of love, Just something that survives the truth of us.
