[Verse 1] He bought me a blue cup at the market Two fifty, ugly as sin Now he fills it with tea every morning And touches my hand when he puts it down [Pre-chorus] He doesn't say "I love you" He says "you're an idiot" But at night he holds me like I matter And kisses my forehead like a secret [Chorus] I'm learning to be human He's learning to be soft Two broken monsters on a kitchen floor Who forgotten how to love But every kiss is a lesson Every silence a prayer He says "you taste too sweet" And I say "try it again" [Verse 2] He kissed me on the table — the same one Where I cried because he didn't Now he kisses me like he's making up for it Slowly, badly, perfectly [Pre-chorus] He still smokes on the balcony Still cleans his gun at night But now he comes to bed before dawn And holds me until it's light [Chorus] I'm learning to be human He's learning to be soft Two broken monsters on a kitchen floor Who forgotten how to love But every kiss is a lesson Every silence a prayer He says "you taste too sweet" And I say "try it again" [Bridge — spoken softly over guitar] "You smell like home," he said. Half asleep. I cried. He didn't see. But I think he felt it — my heart breaking open. Not from pain. From being chosen. [Outro — hummed, then fading] Blue cup, tea gone cold Two hearts learning to be bold I never knew I could melt like this From a hand on my hip and a morning kiss
