[Verse 1] I’ve been the one who loved too hard And paid the price for caring Gave everything, watched it fall apart Still standing there, still bearing The hope that love could be gentle, too Not a test I have to prove Just two hearts choosing day by day To stay… and mean what they say [Pre-Chorus] If I open up my chest like this Promise me you won’t run from it [Chorus] (your original; echo ad-libs included) I don’t need a perfect relationship (Relationship) (Relationship) (Relationships) I just need someone that’s scared to lose me (Scared to lose me) (Lose me) (Lose me) Someone who respects my efforts (My efforts) (My efforts) (My efforts) And is proud to have me (Proud to have me) (Have me) (Have me) It’s not about grand gestures (gestures) (gestures) (gestures) Or flawless moments (or flawless moments) (flawless moments) (moments) It’s about the small things (small things) (small things) The everyday reassurance (every day reassurance) (reassurance) That I’m valued and cherished (valued and cherished) (cherished) [Verse 2] I don’t need promises carved in stone Just someone who calls me their own Not out of fear or being alone But because they see me, flesh and bone Someone who stays when the room gets cold Who warms the night when the silence grows I don’t need perfect, polished love Just real, just steady, just enough [Pre-Chorus] If I give you my heart like this Promise me you’ll take care of it [Chorus] (repeat full) [Bridge] If I give you my heart Don’t treat it like it’s common Don’t hold me when it’s easy Then disappear when it’s storming Love isn’t luck It’s a vow we perform Cherish it daily Or don’t touch it at all [Final Chorus / Outro] (repeat original chorus, softer first half, full power second half)
