Learned too young how pain can change
The way a heart beats in your veins
I spent years tryin' to be what they wanted
Stayed quiet just to feel wanted
But every time I lost my voice
A part of me disappeared with the noise
Now I'm done apologizin'
For survivin' the hardest years of my life
So if you're here to love me, love me honest, love me loud
Love me when my world falls down
After everything I've been through
I still believe in love
Even with these shaking hands
And a heart that's been cut up
And if you let me, I will hold you
Like nobody ever did
Be a safe place you can run to
When your soul gets hard to live
I don't care what people think anymore
I finally found my peace
So if the whole world turns against us
You can still find home in me
I don't wanna just survive now
I want to finally live somehow
Laugh too loud, cry when I need
Stop treating softness like a weakness in me
And maybe I'm still healin' slowly
Maybe someone's still controllin' me
But I'm proud of who I became
Through every loss, through every flame
'Cause pain didn't destroy my heart
It taught me how to love this hard
You don't gotta earn your place with me
I know what it's like to beg for peace
After everything I've been through
I still believe in love
Even with these shaking hands
And a heart that's been cut up
And if you let me, I will hold you
Like nobody ever did
Be the safe place you can run to
When your soul gets hard to live
I don't care what people think anymore
I finally found my peace
So if the whole world turns against us
You can still find home in me
