Counting On Each Other

Late nights and numbers dance in my head,

Calculating all the things that I’ve said.

You hold the bills like they weigh a ton,

But I’m just trying to make sure we’re both getting it done.

You walk in the door, that look in your eyes,

Like the world’s on your shoulders, like we’re heading for skies.

You pull out the paper, all the figures and lines,

But babe, can’t you see? There’s more to the signs.

I see your frustration, it’s clear in your tone,

You count that paycheck; I already feel alone.

So hear me out, love, let me explain,

The hours I've chipped away to ease all the pain.

Bills come knocking, yeah, I know they don’t wait,

But honey, I’m here to lighten your fate.

We’re both in this together, share the load,

Just take a deep breath, let’s share the road.

You plan for the future, but you’re trapped in the now,

Counting each dollar like it's a sacred vow.

But every moment I’m out here hustling hard,

Trying to stack what we’ve got, playing every card.

You say it’s too much, but I see the whole view,

Every minute spent is for me and for you.

We're partners in this, through thick and through thin,

Let’s lift all that weight, don’t let the stress win.

Bills come knocking, yeah, I know they don’t wait,

But honey, I’m here to lighten your fate.

We’re both in this together, share the load,

Just take a deep breath, let’s share the road.

So let’s sit, let’s talk, let’s make a plan,

You’re more than your worries, together we stand.

Each paycheck dances, fades into the night,

But together, my love, we’ll always be right.

So don’t stress tonight, don’t fear what’s ahead,

Just know in my heart, it’s you that I wed.

We’ll navigate this together, come whatever may,

Hand in hand, love, we’ll find a way.
