[Intro] I don't have to win the room To make a little space I can meet you where you stand And look you in the face [Verse 1] You read the world through different glass I read it through my own We turn our reasons into walls Then call the other stone I know the heat that climbs the throat When certainty feels safe But every person carries roads No map can fully trace [Pre-Chorus] So before I name your failure Before I make you small I'll ask what shaped the way you see And listen through it all [Chorus] I won't shame you for the window That you learned to look through You don't have to think like me For me to make room for you We can hold two truths together Let the hard words lose their flame I'll try to understand your heart Before I judge your name [Verse 2] Your silence may be armor Your anger may be fear The joke I took as cruelty Could hide a harder year I don't need to bless the damage I don't need to call it right But I can draw a line with care And leave your worth in sight [Pre-Chorus] If I only love the people Who reflect my point of view Then I'm guarding my reflection Not discovering what's true [Chorus] I won't shame you for the window That you learned to look through You don't have to think like me For me to make room for you We can hold two truths together Let the hard words lose their flame I'll try to understand your heart Before I judge your name [Bridge] Tell me what you carried here Tell me what you couldn't say Tell me where the ground gave way And what still keeps you brave I may challenge what you're doing I may disagree out loud But I won't turn your human life Into a target for the crowd [Breakdown] Ask first! Stay kind! Leave room! Change your mind! [Final Chorus] I won't shame you for the window That you learned to look through You don't have to think like me For me to make room for you We can hold two truths together Without surrendering our spine I'll protect your right to differ While I draw a boundary line [Final Refrain] Different eyes, a wider picture Different roads, the same unknown If I want to be understood I've got to understand your own [Outro] Before I call you broken Before I turn away I'll remember you are human And I'm learning every day
