[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar, intimate] [Verse 1] We built a home with careful hands Watched it hold us through the years But I can feel the walls we chose Don't fit the shapes we're growing into now You need the mountains, I need the shore And love alone can't be enough anymore [Chorus] We've got different roots Running deeper than we knew You need the sun, I need the rain We've loved each other through the change But different roots Pull us toward different truths And that's okay That's okay [Verse 2] Six years of learning how you breathe Six years of finishing your lines I'll carry every gentle thing You taught me how to be But staying just to stay Would turn this gratitude to grief [Chorus] We've got different roots Running deeper than we knew You need the sun, I need the rain We've loved each other through the change But different roots Pull us toward different truths And that's okay That's okay [Bridge] [building, cello enters] This isn't failure, this is growth Choosing ourselves doesn't mean letting go Of what we were Of what we had Some trees grow stronger When they stand apart [Final Chorus] [full arrangement, layered harmonies] We've got different roots And that's the hardest truth You need the sun, I need the rain We loved each other, that won't change Just different roots Each reaching for what makes us whole And that's okay We'll be okay [Outro] [sparse, returning to acoustic] That's okay We'll be okay [Different roots...] [atmospheric fade]
