Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to hide behind the gloss,
Smiles that shine but still feel lost.
Chasing dreams in filtered light,
Running from my sleepless nights.
[Pre-Chorus]
But you saw the slip, the break,
The truth behind the moves I fake.
Didn’t turn, didn’t try to fix—
You just loved me in the mix.
[Chorus]
Love me raw, love me real,
Every scar, every feel.
No fairy tale, just battle lines,
But still you say you’re glad you’re mine.
You hold the chaos in my soul.
And heal me through till I’m whole
You don’t love me outside in,
You love me from the mess within.
[Verse 2]
You ain’t scared of the mess I bring,
You don’t flinch when my heart stings.
You dance with me when I break down,
You lift me up and spin me 'round.
[Pre-Chorus]
No masks, no act, no front—
You love the pain, not just the fun.
Took my fears and made them art,
Taught me how to love my heart.
[Chorus]
Love me raw, love me real,
Every scar, every feel.
No fairy tale, just battle lines,
But still you say you’re glad you’re mine.
You hold the chaos in my soul.
And heal me through till I’m whole
You don’t love me outside in,
You love me from the mess within.
[Verse 3]
You saw the cracks I tried to hide,
The shaky voice I pushed aside.
No mask could hold beneath your gaze,
You touched the part I never praised.
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought love meant being strong,
Polished edges, right from wrong.
But you stayed when I broke down,
Loved the silence, not the sound.
[Chorus]
Love me raw, love me real,
Every scar, every feel.
No fairy tale, just battle lines,
But still you say you’re glad you’re mine.
You hold the chaos in my soul.
And heal me through till I’m whole
You don’t love me outside in,
You love me from the mess within.
[Verse 4]
I used to run from what I feel,
Built up walls I thought were real.
You walked through them like the breeze,
Taught me truth lives on its knees.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I cried not out of pain,
But ‘cause I felt free in the rain.
You didn’t flinch when I confessed,
You said, “The mess is what I love best.”
[Chorus]
Love me raw, love me real,
Every scar, every feel.
No fairy tale, just battle lines,
But still you say you’re glad you’re mine.
You hold the chaos in my soul.
And heal me through till I’m whole
You don’t love me outside in,
You love me from the mess within.
[Verse 5]
You like the way my voice shakes
When I don’t know what to say.
You trace the lines on my face
Like they’re maps, not mistakes.
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need to hide the mess—
You love me more in my distress.
[Chorus]
Love me raw, love me real,
Every scar, every feel.
No fairy tale, just battle lines,
But still you say you’re glad you’re mine.
You hold the chaos in my soul.
And heal me through till I’m whole
You don’t love me outside in,
You love me from the mess within.
[Verse 6]
I was polished, picture-perfect
Till the pressure made me crack.
Tried to hold the pieces tightly,
But you told me not to act.
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t need the flawless frame,
You loved the story in my name.
[Chorus]
Love me raw, love me real,
Every scar, every feel.
No fairy tale, just battle lines,
But still you say you’re glad you’re mine.
You hold the chaos in my soul.
And heal me through till I’m whole
You don’t love me outside in,
You love me from the mess within.
[Verse 7]
I wore my Sunday best for love,
Pressed and proud and picture tough.
You saw right through the show I gave,
Found the person I always saved.
[Pre-Chorus]
And baby, you didn’t run—
You danced with all I’d come undone.
[Bridge]
This ain't a fairy tale kiss,
This is sweat, this is grit.
This is crying on the floor,
And still being wanted more.
You don’t love the perfect me—
You love the wreck, the mystery.
You didn’t flinch, you stayed in view—
Now I breathe because of you.
[Chorus]
Love me raw, love me real,
Every scar, every feel.
No fairy tale, just battle lines,
But still you say you’re glad you’re mine.
You hold the chaos in my soul.
And heal me through till I’m whole
You don’t love me outside in,
You love me from the mess within.
