Borrowed Weather

[Verse 1] You speak so gently Even when you’re moving pieces Like the damage disappears If your hands stay clean And I believed you Because calm can look like honesty When you’ve spent your whole life Drowning in noise [Pre-Chorus] But lately Every reassurance sounds rehearsed Like you practiced mercy Until it felt real [Chorus] Sometimes I can’t tell If you’re shelter or erosion If you pull me closer Just to measure where I break You make disaster sound devotional Like ruin has a purpose And somehow I still reach for you Like borrowed weather in a drought [Verse 2] There are moments You look almost afraid of yourself Like even you don’t know Which version walked in And that should terrify me But instead it makes me stay Because wounded things Recognize each other too quickly [Pre-Chorus] You never raise your voice You just tilt the room enough That I stop trusting my own balance [Chorus] Sometimes I can’t tell If you’re rescue or distortion If you leave the lighthouse burning Only after ships are gone You turn uncertainty Into something almost holy And I hate the way It sounds beautiful when you explain it [Bridge] Maybe manipulation Isn’t always violent Maybe sometimes It arrives as understanding Maybe that’s why I keep confusing intuition With wanting to be chosen [Final Chorus] Now every promise bends strangely Every kindness has a shadow And I can’t separate Your protection from control But if I leave Why does the silence feel unbearable? Why does the coastline still resemble you? [Outro] I think the cruelest part Is that you warned me Without ever lying
