Tell me why

• Written by 

 
*(Hook)*
Why you love me when I’m broken? (yeah)
Heart froze up, I ain’t open (nah)
I push you back, you still closin’
Doors I slammed, you still hopin’ (uh)
I don’t know why you stay (no)
I don’t know what to say (yeah)
I ain’t healed, I’m just floatin’
But you see gold where I’m broken
 
*(Verse 1)*
I can’t cry, so I shut down quick
Smile on my face but inside, I glitch
Got scars on my soul I ain't proud to admit
You dive in deep, and I barely commit
You ask me “what’s wrong?”, I pretend I’m fine
But my silence got weight like it’s doin’ time
I don't trust love, it been weaponized
But you still here—girl, that’s messin’ my mind
 
I ain't perfect, I’m barely present
Still you hold me like I’m heaven-sent
You the calm in my chaotic head
I’m a mess, and you make peace with it
You tell me I’m worth more than I see
But I don’t even see the worth in me
You believe when I don’t believe
Got me askin' every night like—
 
*(Hook)*
Why you love me when I’m broken?
Heart froze up, I ain’t open
I push you back, you still closin’
Doors I slammed, you still hopin’
I don’t know why you stay
I don’t know what to say
I ain’t healed, I’m just floatin’
But you see gold where I’m broken
 
*(Verse 2)*
You deserve more, that’s what I think nightly
You love loud, and I love quietly
You show up, even when I shut down
I give cold shoulders, you don’t back down
I been runnin’ from the mirror and truth
Still haunted by the past and my youth
I been numb so long, I forgot how to feel
You hold me like love alone could heal
 
I'm scared of the fall, scared of the depth
Scared you'll wake up one day and just left
I ain't good with the words that matter
So I bottle it up ‘til I shatter
But you pick up the pieces again
Every time I break, you bend
Not to fix me, just to stay
Girl, I don’t get why you stay
 
You saw light in my darkest place
Built a home in my empty space
I don’t get it, but I crave it
And I don’t say it, but I’m grateful, yeah
 
*(Bridge)*
Maybe I don’t need the answers now
Maybe love ain’t meant to make sense out loud
You see a heart where I see a war
You knock soft on a locked-up door
And maybe I’ll learn how to let you in
But ‘til then, you love me through the wind
And I still wonder every time you breathe—
**Why you choose to stay with me?**
 
*(Outro – fade out
I don't get it, but I feel it more each day
Like love ain't logic, it's the choice you make
You could’ve left, but you always stayed
Through my silence, through my gray
If I break again, will you still be near?
Will you hold the pieces or disappear?
I ain’t fixed, but I’m tryin’ to be
'Cause maybe you see somethin’ I can't see in me…
