Thank You / Lost Myself

I was hiding pieces of me I feared to show

Carrying my scars wherever I go

Mirrors told lies I believed too well

Every doubt, every shadow I could tell

Then you stepped in, saw the light in me

Spoke life into a part I couldn’t see

You held me up when I felt incomplete

Now I finally feel what you see

I gave my all to lift your soul

Kept you steady while I lost control

Stayed awake while my own heart bled

Held your weight while mine felt dead

I smiled for you when I wanted to scream

Held your peace while drowning in my dreams

Every laugh you found, I helped create

Even when it pushed me to a darker state

Her: Thank you for seeing me the way you do

For loving parts of me I never knew

You make me feel brand new, through and through

You changed my view, I see it too

Him: If you felt light, it’s ‘cause I burned my flame

If you felt peace, it’s ‘cause I held your pain

I wanted to be the man that saved your day

But I lost myself along the way

You compliment my heart, not just my face

Give me comfort in my weakest space

Even in silence, you hear my cry

Even in my falls, you’re by my side

You never rushed, you understood

Held my heart steady with a patient hand

Every time my past tried pulling me back

Your love reminded me who I am

I learned to hide how broken I was

Swallowed my hurt so it wouldn’t pause

While you were healing, I stayed strong

But nights got darker when you were gone

I drowned the pain I couldn’t feel

In bottles that promised something real

I gave everything I had inside

To lift your spirit, I swallowed my pride

Her: You don’t see my flaws, you see my soul

You make me beautiful when I feel low

Him: I fought my demons with a smile

Held us together all the while

Her: Thank you for seeing me the way you do

For loving parts of me I never knew

You make me feel brand new, through and through

You changed my view, I see it too

Him: If you stood tall, it’s ‘cause I bent and broke

If you could breathe, it’s ‘cause I choked

I wanted to be your safe place to stay

But I drained myself along the way

Now I’m anxious when the room goes quiet

Depressed when I don’t even try it

There’s a bottle where my joy used to stay

Just trying to numb out yesterday

I didn’t fall apart all at once

I just gave too much, gave too much

I never saw the weight you wore

Never knew what you were fighting for

I was healing in your light

While you were breaking every night

Her: I questioned every move I made

Now I walk in confidence from what you gave

You saw my crown when I felt small

Now I rise every time you call

Him: I carried your storms in my chest

Put your calm above my rest

I made your healing my only plan

Forgot I was just a man
