“Band-Aid Love”

Intro – airy female vocal sample echoing “love me”]

I ain’t lookin’ to heal… I’m lookin’ to feel.

Even if it’s broken, let me bleed in peace.

---

You ain't love me, you just liked my damage

We kissed in silence, called that passion

I ain't know peace, but I knew her curves

Used her body like a prayer I ain’t deserve

I was never whole, just held together

Told her "forever" but meant "until I feel better"

She asked if I was good — I said "I guess"

But I was drownin’ in trauma she ain't even met

I let her in when I should’ve healed

Gave her a hug I ain’t give myself in years

Her smile felt safe, but my heart still ran

I was tryna fix me with her hands

---

This that band-aid love

Only hold me 'cause the pain too much

I ain’t ready, but I still need touch

Let me fake it 'til it feels like trust

You ain’t the cure, but you feel like now

And now feels better than breakdowns

Call me selfish, call me numb

But tonight I just need someone

---

Told her don’t fall, but she slid too deep

And I ain’t strong enough to pull her from me

We played home with a mattress and weed

Tryna build love on some make-believe

I kept the lights low 'cause I feared what she’d see

Every scar, every night I ain’t sleep

I wasn’t ready, but I couldn’t be alone

So I turned her heart into a payphone

Only dialed in when the wounds got loud

Only held tight when my world shut down

She ain’t ask for a fixer-upper

But I showed up broke tryna love her

---

This that band-aid love

Only hold me 'cause the pain too much

I ain’t ready, but I still need touch

Let me fake it 'til it feels like trust

You ain’t the cure, but you feel like now

And now feels better than breakdowns

Call me selfish, call me numb

But tonight I just need someone

---

Don’t patch me up if you ain’t tryna stay…

I’m tired of love that peels the next day.
