[Verse 1] I watched you counting cracks in the ceiling again Hollow laugh, like glass on tile You said the light here doesn’t forgive And I believed every broken smile Your pulse is racing under paper skin I feel it through the floor [Pre-Chorus] Come closer, love Let the shadows taste your name I built this room to hold your shame [Chorus] I’ll be the shelter when the storm forgets its way I’ll be the altar where your demons come to pray No matter the cost of rain No matter how loud you break I will still want you Flawed and shaking I will still want you [Verse 2] You keep your ghosts in the wardrobe They rattle when you breathe I kiss the bruises you won’t speak of And swallow every plea The candle gutters, the night gets thin But I still hear you fall [Pre-Chorus] Come closer, love Let the dark drink what’s left of grace I made my ribs into your hiding place [Chorus] I’ll be the shelter when the storm forgets its way I’ll be the altar where your demons come to pray No matter the cost of rain No matter how loud you break I will still want you Flawed and shaking I will still want you [Bridge – whispered, cracking] Take me instead Take me instead Let it tear through me Let it tear through me I’m already on my knees [Raw scream over piano solo] I WILL STILL WANT YOU EVEN WHEN THE SKY SPLITS OPEN EVEN WHEN MY VOICE GIVES OUT I WILL STILL WANT YOU [Final Chorus – hushed, almost gone] I’ll be the shelter when the storm forgets its way I’ll be the echo when there’s nothing left to say No matter the cost of rain No matter how quiet we break I will still want you Flawed and fading From the room below I will still want you
