[Intro – Soft piano + gentle guitar] Mmm… yeah… Sometimes we just need to… [Verse 1] We fight about nothing, turn small things to war Words get heavy, slammin’ every door I see the frustration living in your eyes You’re tired of my chaos, tired of all the why’s My healing ain’t pretty, it’s messy as hell Emotions like storms, hard to explain well I disappear into music, singing loud in the truck Trying to feel something when the weight’s too much [Pre-Chorus] But I love you deeper than the fights we wage… [Chorus] So I step away… give us both some air Step away… let the anger disappear Clear my head, search my heart, find the man you need Then I come back better, on my knees Step away… not giving up on us Step away… ‘cause I love you too much We’ll fight again, yeah we probably will But I’ll always step away… and come back still [Verse 2] You didn’t sign up for all this healing noise The songs, the outlets, the confused little boy Trying to grow up at forty, learning how to feel While you’re holding everything, keeping us real I know it’s exhausting, I see it in your face But every time I step back, I’m running to your grace This music saved me, but you saved me first You’re my reason, my home, my everything on earth [Bridge – Raw & emotional build] I’m not a musician… I’m just a man who sings Trying to turn all this pain into better things I know I drive you crazy, I know I’m a lot But I’m choosing us… every single shot [Final Chorus – Big, swelling with gospel harmonies] So I step away… when the storm gets loud Step away… find my way back to solid ground Clear my head, search my heart, become who you deserve Then I come back stronger with every word Step away… not walking out the door Step away… ‘cause I love you more We’ll fight again, yeah we probably will But I’ll always step away… and come back for real [Outro – Soft and sincere] Yeah… I step away… So I can come back better I love you… Always.
