Hold Me Where It Hurts

I don't heal clean, I never did

I keep my cracks right where they live

Every scar still talks at night

Every wrong still feels half-right

I learned to laugh with blood in my mouth

Learned how to stay when things fall down

I don't need fixing, I don't need proof, oh, hell

I just need something close and true

If I'm honest, I don't wanna be numb

I wanna feel it all, even when it stings

So hold me like you know it hurts

Like you're not scared of where I'm torn

Press your chest against the bruise

Love me where I'm still unformed

I don't want perfect, I don't want sound

I want arms around a snugglewound

Yeah, stay right here, don't make a sound

This is how I heal now

I've been strong in the ugliest ways

I've worn my armor into the grave

Every time I said, "I'm fine"

Something in me fell behind

But you don't flinch when I shake

You don't rush me through the ache

You don't ask me to let it go

All my sit with me in the slow

I don't need you to pull me through

I just need you not to move

So hold me like you know it hurts

Like love's not clean, like love's got dirt

Lay your head against the truth

Let me be weak without a word

I don't want perfect, I don't want sound runout

I want arms around a snugglewound

Yeah, stay right here, don't make a sound

This is how I heal now

Maybe broken isn't wrong

Maybe it's how we learn to belong

If this ache is part of me

Then don't love past it love through it

I don't wanna disappear

I wanna be held exactly here, exactly here

So hold me like the night holds rain

Like it doesn't try to explain

Let the hurt breathe, let it calm down

Wrap your arms around my snugglewound

I don't need saving, I don't need found

I just need you staying now
