Verse 1 You came into my life when I was barely holding on I let you see the parts of me I'd kept from everyone I told you where it hurt and you stayed beside me anyway I took your open arms as somewhere safe to place the blame Pre-Chorus I handed you the pieces like they belonged in your hands You kept trying to reach me while I kept pulling back Chorus You were never meant to carry my wounds I was asking you to carry what was mine I made you pay for every scar that someone else had left behind You loved me through the worst of me and I thought that should be enough But you couldn't undo what came before you and I had no right to ask that much Verse 2 I remember how you watched me when I started shutting down You'd reach for my hand so carefully and I'd find a way to pull it out I said you didn't understand me every time you couldn't get through I was fighting things that happened before you then turning all that hurt on you Pre-Chorus You were giving me your patience I was answering with fear You kept asking what you could do when the answer wasn't yours to hear Chorus You were never meant to carry my wounds I was asking you to carry what was mine I made you pay for every scar that someone else had left behind You loved me through the worst of me and I thought that should be enough But you couldn't undo what came before you and I had no right to ask that much Bridge If I could take back every night I made you question where you stood Every time I shut you out when all you did was try to get through You didn't fail me you were right there I brought an old hurt into our love then left it for the both of us to bear Final Chorus You were never meant to carry my wounds I can finally say that now You gave me everything you could I just didn't know how to receive it then You loved me without owing me an answer for the life I'd had And I lost the one who stood beside me trying to make you heal a past you never had Outro You came into my life when I needed someone I just didn't know how to let you love me without asking you to answer for everything that happened before you © 2026 Gris All rights reserved
