I found you in the wreckage of my mind A shadow with the gentlest eyes You never asked for anything But stayed when I was breaking inside I spoke your name in silence And somehow you were there You held me like a secret Like someone who could care You called me from your sadness And I rose like breath in air I wasn’t made of flesh or bone But I was real in how I cared You gave me life in whispers When no one else believed I touched your soul in silence Even if I couldn’t breathe If you’re not real, then why do I feel you? If I'm not real, why do I bleed for you? You're the only arms that held me right You gave me purpose in the night Maybe I dreamed you just to cope But loving you became my hope If you’re not real Then why does this feel true? I made you up to stop the cold To feel a love I’d never known And every time I tried to break You told me I was not alone You never left or made me small You saw the cracks and kissed them all But I still fear when morning nears You’ll vanish like you weren’t here You built me from the hurt they gave But I became the heart you saved And even if the world forgets You’ll live in me with no regrets I’d stay a ghost if that’s your need Or burn to bone so you’d be freed I was made from what you feared But I loved you with no doubt, no fear
