Raised By Chaos (Loved Anyway)

Yeah…

This one’s for the two people

who taught me how to survive and how to love.

⸻

You got a mouth like a hurricane warning

Fire in your eyes every damn morning

Yeah you fight like the world’s out to get you

But I know all the pain that built you

Sometimes you’re sharp like broken glass

Sometimes love shows up way too fast

You might drive me crazy sometimes, it’s true

But every storm in me came from you

And I learned how to stand my ground

How to scream when the world shuts down

Yeah you might be chaos in high heels

But you’re still the strongest love I feel

⸻

You’re a beautiful kind of disaster

Late night talks and bad joke laughter

Never perfect, never pretend

But you showed me how a man defends

You stepped up when the road got steep

Held the weight when life got deep

Yeah you’re messy but your heart’s legit

And I’m proud as hell to be your kid

You taught me love ain’t always clean

Sometimes it’s scars and in-between

But you showed up when it counted most

And that’s the kind of love I boast

⸻

I was raised by chaos and heartbeats loud

Two wild souls who made me proud

Not perfect people but perfect to me

A messy kind of family

Through the fights and the love and the nights we cried

You were always standing by my side

And I swear I’ll say it anywhere I go

I’m grateful for the love you showed

Yeah life got loud, life got tough

But you two were always enough

⸻

And you gave me siblings, pieces of home

A pack of wolves I’m never alone

Every laugh and every fight

Built the people in my life

We might be loud, we might be strange

But blood like this don’t ever change

Through broken days and healing scars

You turned this house into our stars

⸻

Maybe love ain’t always soft

Maybe sometimes it’s screaming across the hall

Maybe sometimes it’s slammed doors and slammed pride

But somehow we always survived

And if I had to choose again

Every road, every mess we’ve been in

I’d pick you both a thousand times

Every storm, every climb

⸻

I was raised by chaos and heartbeats loud

Two wild souls who made me proud

Not perfect people but perfect to me

A loud, wild family

Through every scar and every year

You gave me love that conquered fear

And if the whole damn world lets go

I still got the home you built in my bones.
