Slightly Cracked
Asking to be loved as I actually am, cracks included. Kintsugi doesn't hide a break. It fills it with gold and makes it part of the beauty. I'm tired of pretending I'm not broken in places.
Got a chip on my shoulder, a crack in my soul
A vintage kind of crazy that I can't control
Been polished up for decades, tried to hide the flaws
But baby, I'm an outlaw to all the normal laws
I've got a history of breaking, a story in my scars
I've been wishing on the wrong damn things and howling at the stars
But a little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men
So let's forget the rules they made
And start a new and wild parade!
So come on, love me, slightly cracked
It's a feature, not a bug, and that's a fact
I'm filling up my broken parts with silver and with gold
A Kintsugi kind of lover, a story to be told
Yeah, come on, love me, slightly bent
Every single heartbreak's heaven-sent
'Cause it made the space for something new
And honey, I've got space for you
Got a hearth-fire burning, steady, warm, and true
But there's a wildfire in me that is also calling you
It's a complicated kingdom, with a strange and winding chart
But I've got a king-sized vacancy inside my foolish heart
So if you're tired of the simple, and you're bored with good as new
I've got a masterpiece of damage I'd love to share with you
'Cause a little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men
So let's forget the rules they made
And start a new and wild parade!
So come on, love me, slightly cracked
It's a feature, not a bug, and that's a fact
I'm filling up my broken parts with silver and with gold
A Kintsugi kind of lover, a story to be told
Yeah, come on, love me, slightly bent
Every single heartbreak's heaven-sent
'Cause it made the space for something new
And honey, I've got space for you
So forget the perfect statues, they're just boring and they're cold
Let's make a beautiful new mess before we get too old
I'm tired of the tragedy, I'm done with being sad
Let's be the best and weirdest, craziest love they've ever had!
So come on, love me, slightly cracked
It's a feature, not a bug, and that's a fact
I'm filling up my broken parts with silver and with gold
A Kintsugi kind of lover, a story to be told!
Yeah, come on, love me, slightly bent
Every single heartbreak's heaven-sent
'Cause it made the space for something new
And honey, I've got space for you!
