Verse 1 — Him Kitchen light humming soft and low Bills stacked by the coffee pot Baby monitor glowing blue House finally quiet for once You sitting there in one of my tees Hair pulled back, tired smile No makeup, no spotlight Just real life for a while You ask me how I’m holding up I say, “I’m good,” like I always do But you read through that answer Like you always knew ⸻ Verse 2 — Her You think I don’t see the weight You carry when you walk through that door Like the world’s still on your shoulders Even when the crowd don’t roar I don’t need the headlines Don’t need the cheers they bring I just need the man I met Before all the rings You say you’re trying to balance it Between being strong and being scared But I don’t need a superhero I just need you here ⸻ Pre-Chorus — Together They see you under stadium lights I see you when they’re gone They cheer when you throw touchdowns I just make sure you get home ⸻ Chorus — Together Ashley at the kitchen table Talking dreams like they’re close No cameras, no labels Just us and what we know We ain’t chasing perfection We ain’t chasing fame We just want a life we build That don’t depend on the game ⸻ Verse 3 — Him I used to think strength was loud Thought it had to fill a room Now I see it in your steady hands And how you let me breathe in truth You ain’t impressed by trophies You ain’t moved by applause You just want Sunday mornings And a house full of love ⸻ Verse 4 — Her You don’t have to win the world To be everything to me I fell for your heart first Not the version on TV When the noise gets heavy And your head won’t rest You don’t have to say a word Just let me hold your chest ⸻ Bridge — Alternating Him: You don’t need promises shouted Her: I don’t need some big display Him: You just need to know I’m steady Her: When the seasons change Him: I ain’t perfect Her: Neither am I Both: But we’re learning what love requires ⸻ Final Chorus — Together (Lifted) Ashley at the kitchen table Future laid out plain No fairy tale ending Just work and faith We ain’t chasing legacy We ain’t chasing fame We just want a life we build And we’ll build it the same ⸻ Outro — Soft Harmony (Coffee mugs clink) Her (soft): You don’t have to carry it alone. Him (soft): I know.
