HER – Verse 1
I take the weight you don’t defend
Carry the things you won’t amend
I ask for help, I ask for care
You say you’re trying, but you’re never there
HIM – Verse 1
I see the mess, I freeze in place
Shame hits harder than your blame
I tell myself I’ll fix it soon
But fear keeps locking every room
HER – Pre-Chorus
My no turns into something I owe
HIM – Pre-Chorus
Your no feels like you’re letting go
Chorus – BOTH (overlapping lines)
HER: I’m drowning trying to hold us up
HIM: I’m sinking ‘cause I’m not enough
HER: I need respect, not to be begged
HIM: I need to feel I’m not dead
BOTH:
We’re standing in the same damn room
Speaking truths that never move
Two hearts screaming silently
Two truths, one silence between you and me
HER – Verse 2
I make your calls, I sign your name
I fight your wars, I take the blame
You say you need me open wide
But safety’s not a thing you provide
HIM – Verse 2
I let you do what I can’t face
You’re strong, I hide behind your grace
I say I need nothing at all
But lean on you so I don’t fall
Pre-Chorus – BOTH (call & response)
HER: Love is action, not demand
HIM: I never learned how to be that man
Chorus – BOTH (stronger)
HER: I’m breaking trying to save us two
HIM: I’m scared of losing all of you
HER: I need space, I need my voice
HIM: I need to learn to make a choice
BOTH:
We’re bleeding in the same routine
You feel unseen, I feel unclean
Two souls stuck in what we were
Two truths colliding, nothing cures
Bridge – Split, emotional peak
HER (soft):
I can’t be strong for both our names
HIM (soft):
I know I’m the one to blame
HER (rising):
Love shouldn’t hurt like compromise
HIM (rising):
I drown my fear in alibis
Final Chorus – BOTH (unison → harmony)
I won’t carry us alone anymore
I won’t hide behind you anymore
If love is real, it has to grow
With hands that act, not words that glow
We had a chance, we had a flame
But love needs more than knowing your name
Two voices finally speaking free
Two truths…
No silence left between you and me
