Verse 1 She wakes before the sunlight With storms behind her eyes Puts on a brave face in the mirror And calls it “being fine” There’s a little girl inside her Still waiting to be held Still blaming her reflection For the pain she never tells She gave her youth to people Who only loved halfway Still she folds their broken pieces And prays for them anyway Pre-Chorus Nobody writes songs about the woman Who cries in silence in the car Who smiles while her whole world’s bleeding Just so nobody sees the scars Chorus She still sets the table Even when nobody comes Still checks on everybody While her own heart comes undone She says, “I’m okay” so softly Like a prayer nobody hears And every “I’m fine” she whispers Is drowning in twenty years If heaven keeps a record Of all the love she gave Then every woman walking wounded Is stronger than the waves Verse 2 She remembers every birthday Every promise, every lie And every night she chose forgiveness When revenge would’ve felt right She’s been called “too emotional” For simply feeling pain But men build statues out of heartbreak While women hide the rain There’s mothers missing daughters And daughters missing peace There’s wives who sleep beside a stranger Begging loneliness to leave Pre-Chorus And somewhere there’s a woman Reading messages at 2 AM Wondering why she wasn’t enough For somebody who never deserved her then Chorus She still sets the table Even when nobody stays Still carries everybody’s burdens Till her own soul starts to break She gives love like it’s endless Even after being torn apart And the saddest thing about women Is how they survive with shattered hearts Bridge So if you love a woman Don’t love her halfway Don’t make her beg for flowers That should’ve come anyway Because the strongest people in this world Wear perfume and hidden grief And the tears behind their makeup Could bring the proudest man to his knees Final Chorus She still sets the table But tonight she leaves one chair For the little girl inside her Who always needed someone there And for every woman listening Who forgot what she was worth You were never hard to love They were just too blind to learn Outro So here’s to every woman Who carried pain with grace May the world one day be gentle With the tears behind her face.
