Bloom

[Verse 1 ] You kissed me like a fire, Soft and burning through the dark. I was holding on to silence With your hands around my heart. You never meant to hurt me — You were careful, kind, and slow. But I’m made of broken pieces And I shattered when you spoke. [Chorus] I bloomed in your arms, then I bled in the dark Felt the shame like a knife in the bark No prayers, no names, no sweet refrain Just a ghost with a grin and a hunger for pain You called me beautiful — I called it a lie I was made for shadows, not to stand in the light [Interlude] [Verse 2] Your breath was a mercy On this tired, broken skin I swore I’d never let it matter But I let you pull me in You were velvet, you were valiant You were trembling and true But I hear his voice in the silence And it drowns the sound of you [Bridge] My body remembers what my mind still shuns It shakes like a sinner when the silence comes. I build my walls with disdain and lies And I run from the ones who still look in my eyes... [Hook] I told myself you were just paying your due But in that moment, I felt my soul bloom through. Ohhh.... It bloomed so bright, Dark no longer was the night.... Ohhh.... It bloomed so bright, Dark no longer was the night.... [Chorus] I bloomed in your arms, then I broke in the night I wear the shame like a second skin tight. No prayers, no vows, just silence and flame Just a boy in the dark who won’t speak your name. You said you meant it — I said you lied But I still dream of the way your hand fit mine. [Interlude] [Outro] Ohh I buried the blooms in the garden, deep where dead dreams lie..... But late at night, I still dream of the way your hand fit mine.... Oh no I'll never forget..... the way your hand fit mine.
