Bilingual
I flinch at love like it's a flame
Every warmth still speaks your name
You reach for me, I turn away
Habit born from darker days
Mother wept, father gone
I learned to stay silent, to carry on
Every hug felt like a lie
So I built my peace on goodbyes
And I know you mean well
But I don't trust heaven or hell
You touch my hand, I pull away
Afraid your love will rot the same
I wasn't born this way
I was built to break
From every wound they didn't see
From every don't cry said to me
You call it walls, I call it faith
That no one stays, so don't try to save me
I was built this way
Every I love you feels rehearsed
Every kiss both a gift and curse
I laugh to hide, I burn to heal
Pretend it's nothing, I can't feel
You say you see the light in me
But all I see is vacancy
I'm sorry love, I don't mean to fade
I just can't outrun the things they made
You reach again and I resist
Even as I crave your lips
This love's a war I never win
But damn I still want to begin
I wasn't born this way
I was built to break
Every scar of how I keep
Every silence runs too deep
You call it walls, I call it grace
To keep my ghost at bay
So don't try to save me
I was built this way
Don't tell me I'm broken
I already know
I'm just a child I used to be
Begging to go home
I'm not heartless, I'm just scared
Of the love that was never there
Don't touch me, I'll disappear
You can't fix what's never clear
I wasn't born this way
I was built to break
By hands that shook, by words that stayed
You call it trauma, I call it fate
And maybe one day I'll learn to say
It's okay
But for now
I was built this way
I was built this way
