[Verse 1]
You hold the house up
With one tired hand
Laugh when the bills hit
Say
“We’ll make a plan”
You read the fine print
I just see the page
You walk through fire
I just feel the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time the sky gets heavy
You just say
“Let it rain on me”
You turn every cracked foundation
To a place we can breathe
[Chorus]
You’re stronger than me
That’s the truth
Braver than I ever knew
Smart as hell
And somehow
You still choose me too (oh yeah)
You’re the backbone
You’re the proof
Heart of steel
Soft as you
If I’m the song
You’re the key
You’re stronger
Stronger than me
[Verse 2]
You fix the numbers
While I pace the floor
Turn chaos into
Something we can afford
You see the angles
I just see the wall
You stand there steady
When I start to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time the dark feels louder
You just flip on your light and grin
You say
“We don’t run from shadows
That’s how shadows win”
[Chorus]
You’re stronger than me
That’s the truth
Braver than I ever knew
Smart as hell
And somehow
You still choose me too (oh yeah)
You’re the backbone
You’re the proof
Heart of steel
Soft as you
If I’m the song
You’re the key
You’re stronger
Stronger than me
[Bridge]
Here’s my vow
In the middle of the mess
I’ll be the arms
You can lean against
If courage ever
Starts feeling thin
Take my fear
I’ll take your hand
[Chorus]
You’re stronger than me
That’s the truth
Braver than I ever knew
Smart as hell
And somehow
You still choose me too (hey)
You’re the backbone
You’re the proof
Heart of steel
Soft as you
If I’m the song
You’re the key
You’re stronger
Stronger than me
(Stronger than me)
