Lyrics
[Verse 1]
White walls
Late shift
But this time it was home
Chart notes on the counter
Your pill cup by the phone
Gloves on my hands
As I fixed your sheet
Trying not to tremble
Standing at your feet
[Chorus]
Was I your nurse or your son?
Did I hold too tight
Or not enough?
All those vital signs and numbers
When I should’ve just been love
If I could go back
Even once
I’d let the clipboard hit the floor
Be your boy again
Not the brave one
Just my head against your door
[Verse 2]
You said
“You know what to do”
With that small
Tired smile
I hid in my training
So I would not cry
Checking your breathing
Like strangers do
But every quiet heartbeat
Was whispering
“It’s you”
[Chorus]
Was I your nurse or your son?
Did I hold too tight
Or not enough?
All those vital signs and numbers
When I should’ve just been love
If I could go back
Even once
I’d let the clipboard hit the floor
Be your boy again
Not the brave one
Just my head against your door
[Bridge]
I miss your laugh
The way you’d say my name
You trusted my hands
More than I ever can
So if there’s peace
On the other side
Tell me you knew
I was yours the whole time
[Chorus]
I was your nurse and your son
I held too tight
But it was love
Past the vital signs and numbers
You were more than any chart could sum
If I could go back
Even once
I’d still walk through every storm
Be your boy again
Be the brave one
Arms around you
That’s my only form
[Outro]
Strong woman
Soft hands
You taught me how it’s done
In every life I’ll ever live
I’ll be proud to be your son

Intimate acoustic ballad with soft piano and fingerpicked guitar, male vocals up close and unpolished. Verses stay hushed and conversational; chorus swells gently with warm pads and a subtle bass undercurrent. Light harmony doubles key phrases in the hook, bridge adds a fragile rise then falls back to a single voice on the final line for emotional focus., strong
