We Broke the Same [Verse 1] Somewhere after childhood, Before I found my way, Something cracked inside me, And nothing felt the same. I was looking for a language For the ache beneath my skin, Then I found him in the wreckage, Like he’d always been there waiting. He didn’t ask me to explain it. He didn’t flinch at what he saw. He just sat there in the darkness Like he recognized it all. Two kids with different damage, Two hearts without a home. And somehow in his broken, I felt less alone. [Pre-Chorus] We didn’t know what healing was. We didn’t know what love should do. We only knew when one of us was falling, The other one fell too. [Chorus] We broke the same, And it bound us like a chain. Two haunted hearts Holding hands inside the pain. We were poison, we were shelter, We were cruel and we were kind. A beautiful disaster Only broken kids could find. And when the world got too heavy, When we couldn’t stand the truth, I leaned on him, He leaned on me, And somehow that got us through. [Verse 2] Our teenage years were restless, All sharp edges, want, and need. We mistook the hurt for closeness, Mistook the chaos for relief. But God, there was a sweetness In the way we understood. How he could make me laugh through ruin, How I could make him feel good. We could cut each other open, Then stay up stopping the bleed. We could say the worst things possible, Then be exactly what we’d need. It was wrong enough to haunt me, It was real enough to stay. The kind of bond that leaves a mark No amount of years can fade. [Verse 3] We weren’t soft, but we were loyal. We weren’t safe, but we were known. In a world that made us strangers, We became each other’s home. He could read the room inside me, I could hear the war in him. And every time we drifted under, We’d come clawing back again. Maybe it was trauma. Maybe it was something true. Maybe two things can be ugly And still carry beauty too. [Bridge] Now years have put their distance Between the kids we used to be. But some bonds don’t break with silence, They just move beneath the sea. I still feel him when he wanders, When he strays too far from light. Like some old thread starts pulling Through the middle of the night. And I know I cannot save him. I know love can’t make him choose. But part of me still reaches For the boy I almost lost myself to. [Breakdown] Because we were never simple. We were never clean. We were half survival, Half impossible dream. We were damage finding damage. We were need disguised as fate. We were two kids making refuge Out of everything that ached. [Final Chorus] We broke the same, And it bound us like a chain. Two haunted hearts Still holding through the pain. We were poison, we were shelter, We were cruel and we were kind. A beautiful disaster That still lives somewhere in my mind. And when the world was too heavy, When we didn’t know the truth, I leaned on him, He leaned on me, And somehow that got us through. [Outro] Somewhere after childhood, Before I found my way, I found a boy as lost as me, And we gave the dark a name. I don’t know if it was love, Or just wounds that intertwined. But some friendships are a lifetime, Even when they’re left behind.
