Lyrics
Click. There you are. Behind the lens. Safe again. You catch the light Hide the scars Make broken things Look like art Everyone Looks loved While you stand Outside it all And I know I put you there You reached for me I wasn't there. I see it now Every wall Every time You reached And nothing Reached back. My awkward introvert Safe behind The lens Making beauty So you don't Have to feel I should've been Your safe place Instead I made you hide I fucked it up But I never Stopped loving you. You shoot hands Holding tight Like you're studying What we lost I watch you Frame affection And wonder If I taught you Not to reach Sorry won't Give back years Won't warm The nights we lost I didn't know How much of me Was hurting you. Were you waiting? Was I blind? Did I think We had more time? How did I Love you this much And leave you Lonely beside me? My awkward introvert I know Why you hide Why letting me Get close Feels too hard I know Your anger I know The scars I fucked up How I loved you But the love Never stopped. I can't ask You to forget. I can't tell you Not to hurt. I became The dirt You couldn't Clean away The flaw In every frame The thing That stayed. I'm sorry. You needed To feel wanted. You needed To feel seen. You needed me. I disappeared Inside myself. But hear me now. I'm still me. Not polished. Not easy. I get lost. I get scared. I fuck things up. But when I say I love you That's me. Maybe that's What you can't accept. Maybe you only see Who hurt you. But look again. Not through The lens. Not through The years. Just me. My awkward introvert You still mean Everything I can't demand Your touch Can't force Your heart home Can't make you Feel again Because I'm scared To lose you But don't confuse My failures With love That disappeared You were always Everything I buried it Under fear. If there's still One frame You haven't Thrown away Leave the dirt. Leave the scars. Don't crop The pain. I don't want Perfect. I want you. I want us. I want one chance To love you The way I should have. Put the camera down. I see you now. Please See me too. I love you. I always did.
