[Intro, soft lullaby sounds and vocalization]
[Verse 1]
I was just a petal torn and faded,
Lost among the cracks, so jaded.
He loves me, he loves me not—
A game I played, but always lost.
I tried so hard, tried at all cost,
He loves me, he loves me not.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every step I took, I felt unwanted, felt unseen,
A fragile petal on the pavement trapped in between.
(He loves me, he loves me not.)
But then you came and found me, like a gentle rain,
Choosing me and healing all my pain.
(You loved me, when they loved me not.)
You changed the game and wrote our story’s start,
Turned my torn-out petal into a beating heart.
(Cause you loved me, when they loved me not.)
[Chorus]
I was just a faded petal on the pavement,
But you brought this bitter story to an end.
You picked me up, you held my shattered heart,
You saw the beauty in all my broken parts.
Tucked me close, right above your heart,
Oh, yes, this kind of love is purest art,
Well worth waiting for and so much more
Than their plastic one to-go from the store.
[Post-Chorus]
You dried my tears and soothed my cries,
When you said "Baby, I, I, I,
I just couldn't forget the sadness in your eyes."
[Verse 2]
The shards I carried, thorns sharp and deep,
Only made them turn away and made me weep.
(They love me, they love me not.)
But in your hands, I found my grace,
A broken masterpiece in your embrace.
(You loved me, when they loved me not.)
[Pre-Chorus]
Every step I took, I felt unwanted, felt unseen,
A fragile petal on the pavement trapped in between.
(He loves me, he loves me not.)
But then you came and found me, like a gentle rain,
Choosing me and healing all my pain.
(You loved me, when they loved me not.)
You changed the game and wrote our story’s start,
Turned my torn-out petal into a beating heart.
(Cause you loved me, when they loved me not.)
[Chorus]
I was just a faded petal on the pavement,
But you brought this bitter story to an end.
You picked me up, you held my shattered heart,
You saw the beauty in all my broken parts.
Tucked me close, right above your heart,
Oh, yes, this kind of love is purest art,
Well worth waiting for and so much more
Than their plastic one to-go from the store.
[Post-Chorus]
You dried my tears and soothed my cries,
When you said "Baby, I, I, I,
I just couldn't forget the sadness in your eyes."
[Bridge]
Oh, for so long always the loser in the game
"He loves me, he loves me not."
But you made me the winner when you came
And loved me, even though they loved me not.
[Chorus]
I was just a faded petal on the pavement,
But you brought this bitter story to an end.
You picked me up, you held my shattered heart,
You saw the beauty in all my broken parts.
Tucked me close, right above your heart,
Oh, yes, this kind of love is purest art,
Well worth waiting for and so much more
Than their plastic one to-go from the store.
[Post-Chorus]
You dried my tears and soothed my cries,
When you said "Baby, I, I, I,
I just couldn't forget the sadness in your eyes."
