YOU CAME WHEN I WAS BREAKING
By Aya May
YOU CAME WHEN I WAS BREAKING
VERSE 1
You came when my heart was crying out loud,
From helpless pain and the weight of goodbye.
When everything in me burned to the ground,
And hope slipped away from my hands that night.
You didn’t call, didn’t promise a thing,
Just became the light inside of me.
Like someone heard through the silence and mist
My quiet whisper: “come to me…”
CHORUS
You broke my fear of being unwanted,
Showed me how to breathe without shame.
I never knew what it meant to be needed,
To feel at peace with myself again.
You didn’t build empty castles in nowhere,
Didn’t throw words you never could keep.
You were there… And even in darkness,
For the first time, I believed in the light I could see.
VERSE 2
You killed the old word “it hurts” inside,
Melted the ice of my lonely days.
You gave no promises wild or blind,
But through what you did - my heart found its way.
I’m not afraid of endings now,
Not holding on to “what if it’s gone…”
You came - and through all the noise somehow,
I became myself… just as I am.
CHORUS
You broke my fear of being unwanted,
Showed me how to breathe without shame.
I never knew what it meant to be needed,
To feel at peace with myself again.
You didn’t build empty castles in nowhere,
Didn’t throw words you never could keep.
You were there… And even in darkness,
For the first time, I believed in the light I could see.
VERSE 3
Not a hero, not out of a story,
More like morning tea - simple and warm.
Not just words - but a touch that could heal me,
Wounds that never were fighting for more.
Like a breath in a quiet, soft current,
Like a pause in the rush of the days.
You’re a home where it’s easy to be me,
Where I’m not afraid to be weak… and to stay.
FINAL CHORUS
You broke my fear of being unwanted,
Showed me how to breathe without shame.
I never knew what it meant to be needed,
To feel at peace with myself again.
You didn’t build empty castles in nowhere,
Didn’t throw words you never could keep.
You were there… And even in darkness,
For the first time, I believed in the light I could see.
