In Better and Worse (Verse 1) They don’t see the sleepless nights, the way I watch him breathe, how I place my hand so light, just to feel the rise beneath. They’re not there when morning breaks, when he wakes but cannot hear, when I nod, yet silence stays, and I swallow down my fear. (Pre-Chorus) They don’t read between his words, don’t trace the lines he tries to write, they don’t watch him fight so hard, to bring the lost back into sight. (Chorus) But I will hold him through the dark, catch each tear before it falls, stand beside him when he stumbles, when the world feels cold and small. They don’t carry all this weight, but they don’t see the light I see, his quiet smile, his whispered “thank you,” all of this belongs to me. (Verse 2) They don’t count the careful steps, watching every move he makes, they don’t drop what’s in their hands, just to keep him safe from strays. They don’t walk these endless halls, pushing past the walls of doubt, they don’t hear his breaking voice, or the silence when it shouts. (Pre-Chorus) They don’t hear the echoes fade, don’t feel the ache of stolen days, they don’t bear the hollow weight, of love that fights but slips away. (Chorus) But I will hold him through the dark, catch each tear before it falls, stand beside him when he stumbles, when the world feels cold and small. They don’t carry all this weight, but they don’t see the light I see, his quiet smile, his whispered “thank you,” all of this belongs to me. (Bridge) And when the time comes, if it must, how will I breathe when he's not here? They won’t feel the breaking hush, or know the weight of love so near. (Outro) But I will hold him through the dark, for every loss, there’s love to keep. They don’t know how deep this runs, but in better and worse, he’s mine to keep.
