I See You Standing There

Verse 1 You’re always there before the others Smiling like you’re doing fine You listen more than you are speaking Keeping everything inside You laugh along, you play your part But something’s weighing on your heart Verse 2 You carry storms without a sound Like no one needs to know You lift the room just by being there But you walk alone back home You give the world the best of you Still wonder if someone sees you too Chorus I see you standing there Even when you say you’re fine I hear the things you never say In the quiet of your eyes You don’t have to be stronger now You don’t have to pretend You don’t have to carry it alone I see you standing there Verse 3 You’re not broken, you’re not weak You’re just tired from the fight From holding on when nights are long From being brave in silent ways And maybe no one ever knew How much the world is held by you Chorus I see you standing there Even when you say you’re fine I hear the things you never say In the quiet of your eyes You don’t have to be stronger now You don’t have to pretend You don’t have to carry it alone I see you standing there Bridge And if you ever start to fall I’ll be here to break the wall Between the words you never speak And the help you’re scared to seek You don’t need to earn your place You are already enough Final Chorus I see you standing there With the weight you never show You don’t have to hide it all You don’t have to walk alone Let me stand here by your side Let me share the load you bear You don’t have to carry it alone I see you standing there
