For You
Verse 1 I wake up before the house does Make the coffee too strong Get myself moving Even when I don’t want to Some days take more than I have Some days don’t explain themselves But I keep going Because you’re counting on me I carry the tired parts quietly I don’t bring them home You don’t need to see that Chorus For my child I show up If you fall I’m already there If I missed chances in my own life That stops with me Everything I didn’t get right I’ll try again For you Verse 2 When I walk through the door at night You run to me like nothing else exists And suddenly the day doesn’t matter We sit on the floor We laugh about nothing You talk like the world is safe And I want to keep it that way That’s the part I protect More than anything Chorus For my child I stay I don’t disappear I don’t look away Whatever comes We face it You won’t have to wonder If someone’s there Interlude Bridge One day you’ll understand Why my hands were always worn Why I came home quiet Why I kept pushing It wasn’t ambition It wasn’t pride I just wanted your life To feel lighter than mine did Final Chorus For my child I give what I have Not perfectly But honestly Every good thing I can manage I put in your path If the world gets heavy I’ll carry it first Outro You don’t owe me anything Just live I’ll be here As long as you need me
