Prompt / Lyrics
[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

Sparse piano ballad with intimate female vocals, close-mic’d and breathy. First verse almost whispered over soft chords; subtle strings swell into a wide, aching chorus. Light ambient pads in the bridge with a distant choir pad hinting at hope. Final chorus pulls instruments back for a near a cappella moment, then gentle piano resolves., sad, emotional
