[Verse 1: Male] You keep your winter underneath your skin A locked-room heart I’m invited in No need to polish what the daylight sees I know the shape of your unease [Pre-Chorus: Female] I found a door where the silence bends You touched the bruise I never let mend [Chorus: Male & Female] I love the darkness in you The way it burns and pulls me through You love the fracture in me The hidden place where I can breathe When the whole world asks us to pretend We disappear and start again I love the darkness in you And you make mine feel less untrue [Verse 2: Female] You wear your sorrow like a tailored coat A quiet storm caught in your throat I never asked you to become the sun Stay with the parts you try to run from [Pre-Chorus: Male] Your hands are cold, but they steady mine Two ruined prayers in a borrowed shrine [Chorus: Male & Female] I love the darkness in you The way it burns and pulls me through You love the fracture in me The hidden place where I can breathe When the whole world asks us to pretend We disappear and start again I love the darkness in you And you make mine feel less untrue [Bridge: Male] If fear is the language we learned at home Then speak it softly; you’re not alone [Bridge: Female] If love is a room with the curtains drawn I’ll stay beside you until the night is gone [Final Chorus: Male & Female] I love the darkness in you The way it burns and pulls me through You love the fracture in me The hidden place where I can breathe No absolution, no bright escape Just your heartbeat against my ache I love the darkness in you And you make mine feel less untrue [Outro: Male & Female] Stay where the quiet knows our names Two sheltered hearts beneath the flames
