(Blacklight)
I thought you were the danger
I didn't know
I was the storm

You walked into my darkness
Like you weren't afraid
Didn't ask me to be perfect
Didn't make me explain

You touched the parts I hated
Like they weren't broken at all
And for the first time in forever
I didn't feel so small

You remembered little things
I forgot I ever said
The songs that made me smile
The thoughts inside my head

You looked at me like I was someone
Worth staying for
And I loved the way it felt
But I didn't know
What love was for

I called it freedom
When I needed space
I called it nothing
When you gave me everything
You were building something
I was chasing a feeling

You were underneath my skin
But I was only on the surface
You were falling into me
While I was falling into moments
You gave me your heart
I gave you my nights
You gave me forever
I gave you a goodbye
And the hardest truth
I had to face
You weren't the one who changed
I was the one
Who wasn't ready

(I wasn't ready)
(No, no)
(I wasn't ready)

You waited when I disappeared
You stayed when I pulled away
You saw a future in my eyes
I was too afraid to name

I liked the way you wanted me
I liked the way you cared
But I didn't understand the difference
Between being loved

And being scared
I chased every distraction
Every temporary high
While you were trying to hold me

Through every version of my life
You were looking for a home
I was looking for a night
And I hate that I didn't know
The difference at the time

You never asked for perfection
You only asked me to be real
But I was too busy running
From something I could feel

You were underneath my skin
But I was only on the surface
You were giving me your soul
I was giving you a moment
You gave me your trust
I gave you mixed signals
You saw something forever
I saw something simple
And the hardest truth
I had to face
You weren't asking for too much
I was just too far away

Maybe someday
You'll love somebody
Who knows what to do
With a heart like yours
Maybe someday
I'll forgive myself
For losing something
I wasn't mature enough
To hold
Because some people
Don't break your heart
They reveal
How careless
You were with it

You were underneath my skin (my skin)
Even when I pretended you weren't
You were loving me completely
While I was learning what love meant
I wanted your fire
But I feared your light (your baby)
I wanted your body
But not your life
And now I understand
What I couldn't see then
You were ready for love
I was ready for the night

The worst part isn't losing you
It's knowing
You were never the problem
I was just becoming
The person
Who finally understood
What I had
