[Verse 1]
You were the calm in my chaos
The one who saw gold in my rust
You loved me loud, you loved me true
And I gave you pain instead of trust
I watched your hands build dreams for two
While mine tore everything in view
You were the reason I believed
And still, I made you bleed
[Pre-Chorus]
You wanted forever, I played with fire
And lit the match that broke our wire
But I never stopped loving you
Even while I broke us in two
[Chorus]
Now you wear that white coat with pride
Saving lives while I cry at night
I was your why, your only cheer
The one who whispered, “You belong here”
And though I lost the right to stand
Beside the man I helped become
I’m smiling from the shadows, from afar
‘Cause you’re happy, and that’s enough
[Verse 2]
You didn’t think you were enough
But I saw power in your touch
I pushed you gently toward the sky
You spread your wings—I watched you fly
And now the world gets all of you
The kind, the strong, the breaking-through
I wasn’t built to stay that long
But I’m so proud of how you’ve gone on
[Pre-Chorus]
You gave me grace, I gave you scars
And watched you heal behind new bars
But I never stopped wishing you well
Even when I lived in hell
[Chorus]
Now you wear that white coat with pride
Saving lives while I cry at night
I was your why, your only cheer
The one who whispered, “You belong here”
And though I lost the right to stand
Beside the man I helped become
I’m smiling from the shadows, from afar
‘Cause you’re happy, and that’s enough
[Bridge]
You don’t owe me a second glance
I broke the rhythm of our dance
But I thank the stars I got to know
A heart like yours that helped me grow
[Final Chorus]
Now you wear that white coat with pride
And I’ll be clapping on the inside
I may not be the love you keep
But I was part of your leap
And though my heart still pays the price
I’ll never beg to rewrite life
I’m smiling from the shadows, from afar
‘Cause you’re happy… and that’s enough.
