Duet I’m a black cup with a thousand seams Gold running where the dark used to be You found me shattered on the floor And didn’t sweep me away [Verse 2] I mixed the lacquer with my tears Dusted the cracks with quiet years Every break you let me see I painted back in molten light [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to hide the hurt I only love the places it burst [Chorus] This is kintsugi, love Gold in the wounds we didn’t choose You thought you were ruined I just see the proof you made it through This is kintsugi, love Broken is just where the light gets loose [Verse 3] I used to think the cracks were shame Now they catch the sun and spell your name I’m heavier with gold than clay But I’ve never felt so light [Verse 4] I’ll keep pouring till the cup runs over Every scar a river, every river glows You were never less for falling You were only waiting to be whole [Bridge] Let the gold set slow Let the hurting show Beauty isn’t flawless Beauty is what grows [Final Chorus] This is kintsugi, love Gold in the wounds we didn’t choose You thought you were ruined I only see the art of you This is kintsugi, love Broken is just where the light gets loose And darling, you’re luminous [Outro] Hold me like I’m holding you We’re both more beautiful for being broken in two [End]
