[Intro - piano only for 10 seconds] [Emotional] [Verse 1] I’ve been standing in the doorway, quiet but holding up the walls. I’m not working for the money, I’m here to help, to hold, to stay— But sometimes even steady hearts can slowly fade away. [Pre‑Chorus] I’m not asking to be perfect, I’m just asking to be seen. A little recognition for the weight I carry in between. [Chorus] If I disappear tonight, will you finally see my fight? Will you notice all the battles that I’ve carried out of sight? I don’t want to be your equal—no, I want to be your man. Loved with fire, held with softness, seen for everything I am. [Intrumental intermezzo] [Verse 2] I treat you with respect, the kind that grows from deeper ground. I lift you when you’re breaking, I stay when no one else’s around. But a man’s first flowers are on his funeral, they say— And I don’t want my worth discovered only when I’ve gone away. [Pre‑Chorus] I’m not asking for perfection, just a moment where you feel That the strength behind my silence has a heartbeat that is real. [Chorus] If I disappear tonight, will you finally see my fight? Will you notice all the battles that I’ve carried out of sight? I don’t want to be your equal—no, I want to be your man. Loved with fire, held with softness, seen for everything I am. [Bridge] Let me stand, let me lead, let me fall and rise again. Let me be the one you trust, the one you choose, the one you name. I don’t need a throne or praise, just your eyes that understand That I’m not asking to be perfect—only to be seen as a man. [Final Chorus] If I disappear tonight, will you finally see my fight? Will you feel the quiet loyalty that’s been burning in my light? I don’t want to be your equal—no, I want to be your man. Loved with honor, loved with courage, seen for everything I am. [Outro - music fades into silence]
