Verse 1 You know I love you, but not the way the world might see. Not as the woman by my side, not as a dream that belongs to me. You’re something different, hard to name, a bond that time could never hide. Like a child life somehow placed into my heart instead of by my side. Chorus You’re family my heart decided on, though we share no blood at all. Like a daughter from another home, another mother, another father—still, I hear your call. This isn’t romance, this isn’t desire, it’s something gentle, pure, and true. A love that simply wants you safe, and hopes the world is kind to you. Verse 2 If you stumble, I hope you rise. If you cry, I hope you’re heard. I’d rather see your future shine than keep you trapped inside my words. Some people meet and never know the place they’ll someday come to fill. You became a quiet piece of home, and maybe you always will. Bridge No promises, no chains to hold, just gratitude for crossing through. Some hearts are meant to guard, not own— and that’s the kind of love I have for you. Final Chorus You’re family my heart decided on, a light I’ll always wish well. Not my lover, not my destiny, just someone I’ll forever hope is well. If life should take us different roads, I’ll smile whenever your name comes through. Because loving someone doesn’t always mean they have to belong to you.
