Intro] Yeah… Guess we were already worn down by the time we met Couple ghosts pretending not to be lonely Till somehow… You became home [Verse 1] I wasn’t some wild-eyed girl chasing neon dreams Life had already carved cracks deep in me Seen enough heartbreak to know how it ends So I built these walls and called ’em common sense Then you walked in with that storm in your chest Half runaway soul, half beautiful mess Everybody else saw trouble in your eyes But I saw a man just trying to survive And Lord… There were nights I almost let you go Too much pain, too much damage, too much smoke You carried silence like a loaded gun And I carried fear from everything I’d come from But even when you disappeared inside yourself I still kept your place beside me on the shelf ’Cause beneath all the noise and all the scars You loved me harder than anybody ever had [Pre-Chorus] And maybe we were broken then Maybe timing should’ve failed But something kept pulling us back Every time the whole thing derailed [Chorus] ‘Cause after all the bad decisions All the hurt and all the scars After every dark confession After all them run-down bars You’re the reason I still believe Some souls are meant to collide And every wrong turn somehow Led me right here by your side Yeah we were damaged Both carrying worlds we couldn’t fix But somehow through all the chaos Love was hiding in the wreckage And if forever’s real Baby this is it After everything we survived… You’re the reason I lived [Verse 2 – Rap/Sung] We weren’t kids, nah We already knew pain Already had ghosts and old last names Already knew how fast love disappears How people say forever then vanish for years So when you came in I fought it at first ’Cause grown hearts know exactly how much love hurts But you stayed through the anger, the distance, the pride Stayed through every version of me trying to hide And I know I wasn’t easy God, neither were you We said things broken people say when they’re bruised But every time life pulled us down underneath You were still the one reaching back for me See I don’t love you because you became perfect I love you because your soul was worth it Because even at your lowest, your worst nights too There was still something honest and beautiful in you [Bridge] Maybe real love ain’t clean Maybe it’s worn Maybe it finds two tired hearts battle-torn And teaches them slowly after all they’ve seen That peace can still exist between the seams [Final Chorus] So this that redemption… Two scarred-up hearts finally letting go Of the weight and the wars and the roads below No more running from the life we could’ve missed No more wondering if love like this exists This that redemption… No diamonds, no fantasy Just your heartbeat steady next to me And after all the hell we both walked through I still look at you… Like God sent you [Outro] Funny thing about destiny… Sometimes it finds you After you already stopped looking
