[Verse 1]
I see the way you look at me
When I’m too weak to move, too tired to speak
And the silence fills the kitchen light
Like we’re both pretending this is fine
You didn’t sign up for this road
The pills, the pain, the quiet load
You hold the house while I hold on
I feel like everything I was… is gone
---
[Chorus]
And I hate that you suffer for the things I can't fix
That our babies see me when I’m like this
You deserve more than a shadow of me
But I’m doing all I can, even when you can't see
I may be broken, but I still love you right
Even when I can't stand, I still fight
---
[Verse 2]
I hear them laugh, I hear them cry
Through the door I close to keep them dry
From the storms that live beneath my skin
From the guilt that grows when I give in
They ask if I'm okay again
I nod and smile, I play pretend
But when they sleep, I break in two
Wishing I could be more for you
---
[Chorus]
And I hate that you suffer for the things I can’t cure
That I’m here in body, but never secure
You carry the weight I never meant to share
But I see what you carry, and I know it’s not fair
I may be fragile, but I’m still holding tight
For the people I love — I still fight
---
[Bridge]
One day they’ll know the truth I hide
That loving them has kept me alive
And even when I can't be strong
You’re the reason I keep holding on
---
[Final Chorus]
I’m sorry you suffer for the parts of me lost
But I’ve paid and paid, and you’ve paid the cost
If love alone could heal me whole
You’d have already saved my soul
I may be hurting, but I still choose the light
Because for you… I will always fight
---
[Outro]
I see what you carry
And I carry it too
Every breath, every tear —
I love you
