[Intro: clear rhythmic pulse, clean guitar, soft piano, warm bass] [Verse 1] You didn't choose the wounds you carried I didn't choose the weight they brought We met somewhere between the breaking And tried to give each other what we had You reached for me when I was falling I held on as long as I could stand But love can stay and still grow tired When two hearts need more than love can give [Chorus] You were not wrong for needing someone I was not wrong for needing rest Your wounds were never yours to answer for But they were never mine to carry forever We were only two people trying With the pieces life had left behind Sometimes love is not the thing that fails Sometimes love is simply not enough [Verse 2] I wish I could say there was a villain Someone who was wrong and someone right But life is rarely written that simply Sometimes both hearts lose the fight You gave me shelter when I needed it I gave you everything I could And when you finally couldn't do it anymore I grieved when you left — though I understood [Bridge] Maybe healing has to happen somewhere No one else can walk that road for you And sometimes the person standing beside you Has a limit to what they can do [Final Chorus] You were not wrong for needing someone I was not wrong for needing rest Your wounds were never yours to answer for But they were never mine to carry forever We were only two people trying To love with what we understood And maybe that is not a failure Maybe we simply did the best we could [Outro] You didn't choose the wounds you carried I didn't choose how long I'd stay But somewhere between love and letting go We both had to find our own way [Fully resolved ending]
