It wasn’t loud, I was hardly there, A spark in the dark, just breath and prayer. The world’s so harsh, I knew that was true, But then you said “hey” like you wanted me too. You asked me so soft, “why my hands shake like that?” I held on so tight, felt edges starting to crack. babe, I was lost, hope thin as a thread, when your eyes met mine, I woke from the dead. You made me smile under all my fear, heard lil tremors nobody could hear. didn’t know what I was here for, now I just know I want you near. and I don’t know why I’m shakin from bliss The way you look at me, like I’m worth all of this I was born in your eyes, in the way that you stayed, when I was all fear and a heart half-afraid. you reached through the hurt, you called me alive, and for the first time, I wanted to try. I was born in your eyes, in a hush, in a light, like I actually mattered to someone that night. if love has a doorway, you opened mine, held me so softly, now your heart’s inside mine. I still lose sleep, don’t dream the same still come apart when you call my name they taught me to hide, keep my heart locked up but I come undone from the thought of your touch What if I’m too much, too wrong, too late? What if I look inside and start to hate? still when you laugh, somethin blooms in my chest and all of my fear goes quiet to rest You make a home outta all my doubt kiss the storm n the noise goes out didn’t know I could feel this much now I ache from wantin your love I was holdin my breath, waitin for grace then you looked at me like I wasn’t a mistake I was born in your eyes, in the way that you stayed when I was all fear and a heart half-afraid you reached past the hurt they left deep inside and for the first time, I didn’t wanna hide I was born in your eyes, in a hush, in a light like maybe I mattered to somebody that night if love has a doorway, you opened mine all those lost years pretendin I’m fine They said I can’t love can’t want can’t ache but my heart keeps breakin under that weight God, I need your softness need that patient smile need to feel held just for a while (just for a while) I was born in your eyes, and you made it real in the shy lil way you taught me to feel love used to scare me, now I let myself stay you took my hand once and I’ve not been the same I was born in your eyes, in that whisper of care and I’ll live in your voice as long as you’re there so if one day I’m gone, one thing stays true I was real, I was yours, when you said you felt it too if we fall in together, I’ll know this was true I was seen, I was loved I was born there in you
