Bruises in Silence

Love Me Through My Imperfections Verse 1 I don’t always have the right words Sometimes I break what I mean I’ve got bruises in my silence And cracks in every dream I’m a little rough around the edges A little scared to be undone But if you hold me in the hard parts Maybe I won’t have to run Pre-Chorus ’Cause I’ve been hiding all my shadows Like they make me hard to keep But I am more than all my battles More than what has wounded me Chorus Love me through my imperfections Through the mess I can’t disguise Through the tears and through the questions Through the storm behind my eyes When I’m fragile, when I’m guarded When I’m too afraid to speak Don’t just love my shiny pieces Love me through my imperfections Verse 2 I’m not a picture perfect story I’ve got pages torn apart I’ve let fear become a fortress Around this tired heart But I’m trying to believe I don’t have to be repaired That I could still be worthy Just because you choose to care Pre-Chorus Even when my hands are shaking Even when I lose my way Stay with me inside the breaking Help me learn that I can stay Chorus Love me through my imperfections Through the mess I can’t disguise Through the tears and through the questions Through the storm behind my eyes When I’m fragile, when I’m guarded When I’m too afraid to speak Don’t just love my shiny pieces Love me through my imperfections Bridge Not for who I might become someday Not if I am easy to believe But for the woman standing here now With all the scars she didn’t leave If your heart can hold the ache in me And still call me beautiful Then maybe love was never perfect Maybe love is just this full Final Chorus Love me through my imperfections Through the nights I can’t be strong Through the healing and the hurting Through the places I went wrong When I’m honest, when I’m broken When I’m down on my knees Don’t just love the best of who I am Love all of me Love me through my imperfections
