[INTRO] Yeah I learned how to stand alone, But that don't mean I never need somebody. Sometimes strength means letting someone in. [VERSE 1] I came into this world with a spark in my chest, Never been the type to settle for less. They tried to teach me how to shrink my flame, Smile through the hurt and stay in my lane. But I built these walls for a reason, Learned how to survive every changing season. I can carry my own, I can handle my pain, But even strong hearts need shelter from rain. I've been working all day just to keep things alive, Wearing a smile when I'm barely getting by. Everybody sees the woman who won't break, Nobody sees the toll that the strength can take. [PRE-CHORUS] I don't need saving, I need someone near. Someone who notices When I'm disappearing in here. [CHORUS] Stand beside me when the road gets heavy, Don't carry my world, just help me steady. When I've got nothing left to give, Remind me there's still a reason to live. I don't need somebody telling me who to be, I need someone who can handle the real me. When my fire burns low and my defenses fall, Love me through the pieces, don't run from it all. [VERSE 2] Let's cook dinner together, music in the kitchen, Laugh at burnt toast and forget what was missing. Take a late-night drive with nowhere to go, Windows rolled down while the radio glows. Let's walk through the neighborhood, hand in hand, Stop for some coffee and make another plan. Watch an old movie curled up on the couch, Talk about everything till the lights go out. Run those little errands that nobody wants, Turn grocery-store aisles into our own little spot. Dance in the living room, sing every song wrong, Make ordinary Tuesdays feel like where we belong. [PRE-CHORUS] I can fight my battles, I've done it for years. But sometimes I need someone To sit with my tears. [CHORUS] Stand beside me when the road gets heavy, Don't carry my world, just help me steady. When I've got nothing left to give, Remind me there's still a reason to live. I don't need somebody telling me who to be, I need someone who can handle the real me. When my fire burns low and my defenses fall, Love me through the pieces, don't run from it all. [BRIDGE] And when your world starts falling apart, I'll meet you there with an open heart. I won't erase what you're going through, I'll take some of the weight and walk with you. We'll sit on the porch and watch the evening fade, Talk about our dreams and the choices we've made. Take pictures together, make memories last, Laugh about the present, forget about the past. We don't have to fix every scar, We don't have to know where the answers are. You hold me up, I'll hold you too, That's what real love is supposed to do. [VERSE 3] I've spent too long proving I can do it alone, Turning every struggle into another stepping stone. But independence doesn't mean I never need rest, And asking for love doesn't make me less. I want mornings with you and coffee in our hands, Weekend adventures without making big plans. Maybe cook something new, maybe take a long ride, Maybe find a little town and explore side by side. I'll give you my strength when yours disappears, I'll listen through silence, I'll sit through the tears. No fixing, no judging, no running away, Just two imperfect hearts choosing each other each day. [FINAL CHORUS] Stand beside me when the road gets heavy, Don't carry my world, just help me steady. When I've given everything I have, Give me somewhere safe where I can finally relax. I'll stand beside you when your world gets rough, When your confidence breaks and you've had enough. We'll dance through the kitchen, We'll laugh through the rain, We'll make little memories Again and again. I can be fire, I can be free, And still need somebody To believe in me. [OUTRO] We don't need a perfect life, Just a life we share. A drive with no destination, A song in the kitchen, A hand in mine, A quiet night together. If you see me fighting, Come closer. If you see me tired, Stay. And when you need me I'll stay too.
