Where You’re Broken, I Stay
gothic, bittersweet
Create Similar
[Verse 1]
You hide your heart behind a smile
Like it’s safer bruised than seen
Every scar a quiet war
Every touch, a memory
You flinch like love’s a loaded gun
Like it always leaves a mark
But I don’t reach to fix the cracks
I reach to hold the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the ghosts you carry in your skin
I don’t ask them to leave—I let them in
[Chorus]
Love me with your jagged edges
With your doubt and all your ache
I don’t want you clean or mended
I want every breath you take
Let the world call you damaged art
I’ll call you mine, just as you are
Where you’re broken, where you’re scared—
That’s exactly where I stay
[Verse 2]
You apologize for breathing wrong
For taking up the room
Like joy is something you must earn
And not a thing you’re due
They taught you love was borrowed time
A debt you couldn’t pay
But I’d burn every clock we own
To keep you here, to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
You think you’re hard to love somehow
But I’ve been learning how
[Chorus]
Love me with your jagged edges
With your doubt and all your ache
I don’t want you clean or mended
I want every breath you take
Let the world call you damaged art
I’ll call you mine, just as you are
Where you’re broken, where you’re scared—
That’s exactly where I stay
[Bridge] (soft → swelling)
I don’t need you healed or holy
I don’t need you brave
Just don’t disappear on me
When the night gets loud and shakes
If you fall apart in my arms
I won’t look away
I’ll love you through the bleeding parts
And never ask you to change
[Final Chorus] (bigger, aching)
Love me with your jagged edges
Let them cut, let them show
I’ve loved you in your silence
I’ll love you when you break slow
If your heart still doubts my name
I’ll wait through every wave
Where you’re broken, where you’re scared—
That’s exactly where I stay
[Outro] (quiet, intimate)
You don’t have to be untouched
To be worthy of my love
If all you have is what you are—
It’s more than enough
