Still Not Ordinary

I was counting cracks in the ceiling

Learning how to breathe in the dark

Every promise sounded convincing

Till the truth left fingerprints on my heart

I wore silence like armor daily

Smiled heavy carried the weight

Every road felt narrow and lonely

Till your voice started clearing the space

I was walking circles in the same doubt

Living life just trying to stay safe

Then you showed me another way out

Put a spark in the middle of faith

You don't love me ordinary

You don't touch me just to stay

You turn scars into stories

And make the hard nights fade

When the world feels temporary

And my courage starts to shake

You don't love me ordinary

You elevate my name

I've been trained to expect the worst

Learned survival before trust

Built my walls from what hurt first

Said I'm fine when I was crushed

But you see through the performance

Past the lines I rehearse

You don't ask me to be flawless

You just ask me to be real first

I was measuring love in defense

Always braced for the fall

Now I'm learning what it means

To give everything not stall

You don't love me ordinary

You don't leave when it's hard

You don't flinch at the damage

You embrace every scar

When my future feels uncertain

And my past still debates

You don't love me ordinary

You elevate my name

If I lose my balance

Would you still stay near

If the lights go out completely

Would you see me clear

I don't need perfection

I don't need escape

I just need a reason

To believe I'm safe

You don't love me ordinary

You don't love me halfway

You turn fear into freedom

With the words that you say

When the world tries to label me

By my mistakes

You don't love me ordinary

You elevate my name

Still learning how to trust the view

When love feels this true

If this is ordinary

Then I never knew
