Heaven Looks Like You lyrics

I was breathing but I wasn't alive Just a shadow wearing skin Every night felt like a prison Every thought a mortal sin I carved my name into the silence Screamed for something real But the dark kept pulling tighter Till I forgot how hope should feel! I was lost inside the damage Drowning slow Begging for air Then your voice cut through the violence Like a prayer You pulled me out of the fire! Held my soul when I was breaking Turned my scars into desire Gave me love worth saving I was dying in the shadows Now I finally see the truth If hell was where I came from Heaven looks like you I made a home inside my pain Built my throne from regret Every promise I abandoned Every bridge I ever set I wore my trauma like a crown Let it rule my veins But you saw the man beneath the ruin Not the damage, not the shame I was rotting in the silence Heart locked in a cage Then you whispered: Stay! And stopped the decay! You pulled me out of the fire Held my soul when I was breaking Turned my scars into desire Gave me love worth saving I was dying in the shadows Now I finally see the truth If hell was where I came from Heaven looks like you I've bled for every version of me That didn't survive I've prayed to gods that never Answered back But you stayed when I was empty You stayed when I was gone You loved the parts of me I thought were beyond saving You pulled me out of the fire! (you pulled me out of the fire) held my soul when I was breaking (held my soul when I was breaking) turned my scars into desire (turned into desire) gave me love worth saving (gave me love worth saving) I was dying in the shadows Now I finally see the truth If hell was where I came from Heaven looks like you You pulled me out of the fire I was lost, I was gone My soul when I was breaking Now I'm home, now my soul You saved me from myself I was buried in the hell I built You stood Where I would have died Love was the violence that set me alive!
