Verse 1 (short, image-driven)
You speak in storms I used to calm
I learned your moods like second songs
I bent myself to keep you whole
While I was breaking more and more
⸻
Pre-Chorus (build the hook tension)
But something in me finally turned
A quiet truth I had to learn
I’m not the one who holds it all
When I’m the one who always falls
⸻
CHORUS (MAIN HOOK — radio repeatable)
I don’t carry us anymore
Not like I did before
If you’re lost in what you feel
That’s not mine to heal
I loved you once, that much is true
But I don’t carry us for you
No, I don’t carry us anymore
⸻
Verse 2 (clean, modern, relatable)
You still call when your world breaks down
Like I’m the only solid ground
But I am not your place to hide
Not the one who keeps you right
I used to drop everything I had
To fix the good and fix the bad
Now I just let the silence stay
And let it carry you away
⸻
Pre-Chorus (shorter, stronger)
And I don’t feel the need to prove
A love that only I would move
⸻
CHORUS (repeat — hook reinforcement)
I don’t carry us anymore
Not like I did before
If you’re lost in what you feel
That’s not mine to heal
I loved you once, that much is true
But I don’t carry us for you
No, I don’t carry us anymore
⸻
BRIDGE (build to final vocal lift)
I won’t apologize for peace
For finally choosing me
If love means losing who I am
Then I won’t hold your hand again
⸻
FINAL CHORUS (big key-change energy)
I don’t carry us anymore
Hear it echo, feel it roar
I am not your safety net
Not the one you lean on yet
I loved you once, but now I choose
To stop carrying me and you
No, I don’t carry us… anymore
