[Verse 1]
Cold tile under tired feet
Midnight dishes
Piles of sheets
He’s asleep with cartoons still on
She kills the screen
Keeps pushing on
[Verse 2]
Checks the locks
Then checks again
Silence loud as all her shame
Whispers
“Baby
It’s just us”
Kisses his hair
Prays through the dust
[Chorus]
Water hides the tears she’s crying
So her little boy won’t hear her breaking
Hands on the wall
Shoulders shaking
“God
Are You there?” she says inside the steam
And heaven sees the woman no one sees
Holding up the world in faded jeans
[Verse 3]
Breakfast smiles
She plays pretend
Coffee
Coupons
Borrowed friends
Every joke a paper mask
Every day the same hard ask
[Chorus]
Water hides the tears she’s crying
So her little boy won’t hear her breaking
Hands on the wall
Shoulders shaking
“God
Are You there?” she says inside the steam
And heaven sees the woman no one sees
Holding up the world in faded jeans
[Bridge]
She thinks
“If I fall
Who catches him?”
“Who holds his hand when mine gives in?”
In the hush between her sobs and fears
She feels a whisper in her ears (I see you)
[Chorus]
Water hides the tears she’s crying
But every tear is counted while she’s aching
Hands on the wall
Faith still raising
“God
Are You there?” she asks inside the steam
And heaven answers softly through her grief
I see the single mother on her knees
