Verse 1 They gave you rules before they gave you choice Taught you how to listen, never trust your voice Hands folded tight, heart on delay Love was a risk you were trained to pray away You learned control before you learned need How to suppress what your body would read Every feeling came stamped with fear So you grew strong, but never near Pre-Chorus Now you hesitate when I get close Like warmth is something you might lose You don’t know if love stays You were never shown the proof Chorus But you can’t break this lover I don’t scare, I don’t run I don’t need you smaller Just real, just undone They taught you love was fragile That it shatters under truth But you can’t break this lover Not loving you Verse 2 You move like trust is glass and thin Like one wrong step will cave you in You apologize for wanting more Like desire’s something to ignore You’re too honest for most people’s lies They hear your truth and look away You don’t know how to soften it So they blame you for the weight Pre-Chorus You expect love to come with chains Or vanish once it sees your flaws But I don’t need perfection I don’t worship laws Chorus You can’t break this lover I’m not built to leave I don’t punish questions I don’t weaponize belief They told you love needs silence Needs fear to stay alive But you can’t break this lover I survive Bridge Unlearn the voice that lives in your head That says devotion costs your breath I don’t need you clean or saved I just need you present Touch without guilt Kiss without fear No altar between us Just here Final Chorus You can’t break this lover I don’t bend that way I don’t disappear When the past comes up to play They gave you doctrine before desire Before you ever felt your worth But you can’t break this lover I love you first Outro No scripture on my tongue No threat in how I stay Just love that wasn’t taught But chose you anyway
