More Then My Capacity

⸻

Verse 1

You said you loved me past the brim

Past the edge where light grows thin

Said your heart was wide and wild

And I just smiled

I could’ve left on harder nights

When silence felt like fights

But loving you felt like a home

I couldn’t just rewrite

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I stood beside you, steady ground

While your doubts were spinning out

⸻

Chorus

If you loved me more than I could give

Why am I the one learning how to live

With half a house and half a plan

And the memory of your hand?

If your heart was bigger than mine

Why couldn’t it hold the line?

You said your love ran deep and free

But it wasn’t wide enough for me

⸻

Verse 2

We signed our names in careful ink

Like forever doesn’t blink

Painted walls in hopeful shades

Built a life we thought was made

You could’ve walked before that day

Before our roots had learned to stay

Before that house became the proof

That I believed in you

I don’t want to think there’s someone else

But it feels like there’s somewhere you’d rather be

When something that strong just slips away

And won’t explain itself to me

What got you scared? What changed your mind?

Was it sudden, or slow this time?

⸻

Pre-Chorus

So tell me, when did it grow thin?

Did you start to fade within?

⸻

Bridge

Maybe love can still be true

Even when it doesn’t choose

Maybe you meant every word

Until forever felt too huge

Was it one bad day, one bad night

That made your “always” lose its fight?

Was that all it took to make

Your capacity disappear?

Maybe hearts can overflow

And still not know

How to stay

⸻

Final Chorus

If you loved me more than I could give

Why am I the one left trying to live

With empty rooms and broken plans

And shaking hands?

If your capacity was so much more

Why couldn’t it carry us through the storm?

You said your heart was bigger than mine

But mine would’ve stayed

Every time

You said your love ran deep and free

But it wasn’t wide enough for me

⸻

Outro

You said you loved me past the brim

Past every doubt, past every “if”

But love doesn’t leave

Without reason.
