[Verse 1] I came to you in ash and grace With a fractured halo, borrowed face You held my name like a fragile key Turned in your palm, then set me free I read your silence, line by line A sacred code in the fault of time You are the proof my curse can breathe The only human who can see me [Pre-Chorus] I do not ask for your bright dawn I know what stays and what is gone Still, when you move through the room like a prayer I learn the shape of wanting there [Chorus] I love you in the dark I love you in the dark You are the wound I guard I love you in the dark If heaven names me wrong I will remain where I belong Beside your quiet heart I love you in the dark [Verse 2] I wore the pit like a tailored suit All sharpened wit and impeccable proof You spoke one truth with a level gaze And split my century into days Your pulse is small, your courage large A mortal flame in a ruined charge I, who was made for hunger and harm Now keep my distance to keep you warm [Pre-Chorus] Let every verdict pass me by I have your face behind my eyes The clean cold edge of my ancient design Softens when your hand meets mine [Chorus] I love you in the dark I love you in the dark You are the wound I guard I love you in the dark If heaven names me wrong I will remain where I belong Beside your quiet heart I love you in the dark [Bridge] No thunder asks to be believed No kingdom gives what we receive You are alive, and I am sworn To love what cannot be reborn So if the doors of mercy close I will not rage, I already know A demon learns, through stillness, how To kneel without making a vow [Chorus] I love you in the dark I love you in the dark You are the wound I guard I love you in the dark If heaven names me wrong I will remain where I belong Beside your quiet heart I love you in the dark
