Kintsugi Heart

[Verse 1] I found you standing where the black roses grow Wearing every wound like winter's falling snow Your hands still trembled from the ghosts you'd held so long Convinced your brokenness had made your soul all wrong But I saw constellations carved beneath your skin Every crack a place where hope had once crept in The cathedral of your heart was weathered, torn apart Yet I heard heaven beating softly through the dark [Pre-Chorus] Don't hide the places sorrow learned your name They're not reminders of your shame Like shattered porcelain reborn in threads of gold Your story is the treasure that you hold [Chorus] So let me love the fractures time could never hide Every scar the moon has kissed beneath the night Like Kintsugi, your soul was never meant to be the same Golden through the broken, beautiful because of pain I won't ask yesterday to disappear It's every shattered piece that brought you here I'll love the ruins, every fault and every part Because the gold was always hidden in your heart [Verse 2] The ravens know the language of abandoned dreams They watched you drown beneath impossible beliefs Still you rose with silver stitched into your bones Turning empty graveyards into sacred homes If darkness was the sculptor of the life you've known Then every crack became a light the night has shown I'll trace those gilded memories with gentle hands And love the masterpiece that only healing can [Pre-Chorus] The deepest night still bows before the dawn No broken soul is ever truly gone The hands that mend don't erase what came before They make the heart more radiant than before [Chorus] So let me love the fractures time could never hide Every scar the moon has kissed beneath the night Like Kintsugi, your soul was never meant to be the same Golden through the broken, beautiful because of pain I won't ask yesterday to disappear It's every shattered piece that brought you here I'll love the ruins, every fault and every part Because the gold was always hidden in your heart [Bridge] If I could gather every shattered dream you've known I'd set them gently where the wild lilies grow Not to rebuild the person you once were But honor every wound that made your spirit stir The moon still shines on cracked cathedral stone Making broken things look like they're carved from stars So when you fear your scars are all I'll ever see Know they're the very reason you are beautiful to me [Final Chorus] So let me love the fractures time could never hide Every scar the moon has kissed beneath the night Like Kintsugi, your soul wears rivers made of gold A living testament that beauty can be whole I'll never curse the storms that shaped your skies Or wish away the tears you've learned to hide For love isn't finding someone left untouched by pain It's holding every broken piece and calling it by name You're the cathedral where the light shines through the seams The proof that shattered hearts can still become our greatest dreams And if forever has a face, it's this truth I'll always see The gold within your scars is what first made you shine for me
