You Love Me Anyway

I showed up late with scuffed-up shoes Wrote your name on a napkin I almost lost too You said “yes” like it was obvious And I still think you’re slightly delirious My vows were scribbled in a Waffle House You framed them like they were holy vows I gave you panic, you gave me grace I still flinch when you touch my face You love me anyway With all the scars I never earned All the bridges I set fire to All the lessons I never learned You saw the wreck and stayed Lit candles in my blackout brain And I’m still not sure what you see But you love me anyway I talk too fast when I’m afraid Which is every time you say my name You calm the chaos like a ghost Kissing the bruises I hide the most You love me anyway Through the echoes I can’t explain Through the static in my chest Through the art I made from shame You held my hand through shame parades Danced in the flood I tried to fake And I still don’t know how to say... But you love me anyway I’m not okay, I’ve never been But with you, I don’t have to pretend You wear my chaos like a crown And somehow never let me drown You love me anyway Even when I vanish mid-text Even when I spiral again Even when I break what’s next You stitched my heart with safety pins And called it art, not discipline I’ll never be the easy way... But you… you love me anyway [Words, Production, and Direction by Noizgenie.] [Cover Art Direction by Noizgenie. © 2025 Noizgenie.]
