Yeah. Two people, carrying a whole lot of weight. But we’re still walking. Listen. (Verse 1 - Her Story) I know the shadows that you carry from the days when you were young The heavy silence in the room, the songs that went unsung I know the trauma left a mark, I know it built a heavy wall And it’s terrifying waiting for the other shoe to fall. But I see the strength it takes to finally open up that door Going to therapy, fighting the ghosts, settling the score. It’s a long road to healing, it don’t happen overnight But I see you in the trenches, yeah, I see you in the fight. You’re unlearning all the pain, trying to find a better way And I’m proud of every step that you are taking every day. (Chorus) (Beat swells, uplifting and melodic) I’m standing right beside you, I’m the shelter in the rain I’m here to help you carry all the trauma and the pain But my shoulders getting heavy, and my spirit needs a rest I’m just asking for the same when I am facing my own test. Just a little bit of care, just a little bit of grace Let’s be each other’s peace, let’s be each other’s safe space. I’ll hold you when you fall, I’ll be the one that has your back I just need you here to hold me when my world is fading black. (Verse 2 - Your Story) I’ve been running on the empty, trying to keep the family strong Trying to build a better life, but the road is getting long I hit the burnout, hit the wall, my mind is in a haze I’ve been lost inside the fog for a hundred different days. I ain’t asking for perfection, I ain’t asking for the moon Just a hand to hold in mine when the darkness comes too soon. I’ve been the rock for so long, but even rocks can start to crack I pour my love into your cup, I just need a little back. I’m not trying to point the finger, I’m not trying to keep the score I just want to feel the love that we were fighting for. (Bridge) (The rhythm picks up slightly, feeling very hopeful and forward-moving) Yeah, the healing is a mountain, but we’re climbing up the side No more hiding in the dark, no more running from the tide If we do this together, if we look each other in the eye We can leave the past behind us, we can finally touch the sky. It takes time, it takes patience, it takes everything we got But a love that’s built on healing is the best thing that we caught. You do your work, I’ll do mine, and we’ll meet up in the light If we hold each other up, we can make it through the night. (Chorus) (Loud, full, and warm) I’m standing right beside you, I’m the shelter in the rain I’m here to help you carry all the trauma and the pain But my shoulders getting heavy, and my spirit needs a rest I’m just asking for the same when I am facing my own test. Just a little bit of care, just a little bit of grace Let’s be each other’s peace, let’s be each other’s safe space. I’ll hold you when you fall, I’ll be the one that has your back I just need you here to hold me when my world is fading black. (Outro) (Beat strips back to just the acoustic guitar, fading out gently) So take your time. I’m right here. Just meet me in the middle. We’re both healing. We’re both trying. Yeah.
