Intimate, conversational female mezzo soprano] [VERSE 1] I break my back for a paycheck Fight battles nobody ever sees Then come home wanting one small moment Where somebody fights for me I don't need you to carry my whole world I've carried it this far on my own I just need you to notice when it's getting heavy And take some of the weight when I can't I've spent too many nights saying I'm alright When what I meant was, I can't do this tonight I want someone who sees the tired in me Before I have to put it into words [PRE CHORUS] Let the silence say what I can't Let your hands tell me you understand [CHORUS] I want you to share the weight with me Not take it all, just help me hold it When I've given everything I have Give me somewhere I can finally rest Work a little harder when I'm running low Stand a little closer when the day gets cold And love me when I'm difficult to love When I'm not the woman I want to be I don't need you to have it all figured out I need you to notice when I'm running low Someone who sees me at my worst And doesn't love me any less [VERSE 2] There will be days I come home empty Days I don't have much left to say Days when the smallest thing feels bigger Because I've been holding too much all day I want the kind of love that notices The untouched dinner sitting on my plate The way I stare at the floor for a minute Before I tell you I'm okay [BRIDGE] And when your own days get heavy I'll know before you have to say I'll reach for what you're carrying And take my share of the weight That's what I mean when I say fight for me Not to fix me Not to make the hard things disappear Just don't leave me alone inside them [FINAL CHORUS] [Full drums, wider guitars, melodic bass, layered harmonies, controlled rasp, stronger chest resonance, natural dynamics] I want you to share the weight with me Not take it all, just help me hold it When I've given everything I have Give me somewhere I can finally rest Work a little harder when I'm running low Stand a little closer when the day gets cold And love me when I'm difficult to love When I'm not the woman I want to be I don't need you to have it all figured out I need you to notice when I'm running low Someone who sees me at my worst And doesn't love me any less [OUTRO] [Sparse clean guitar, natural room decay, soft female vocal with elongated vowels and restrained vibrato, fading naturally]
