# POTHOLE VII — THE OTHER SIDE ## “I Can’t Walk It for You” ### Duet — Under 3 Minutes [Intro — Voice A] I know that sound... [Voice B — distant] Can anybody hear me? [Voice A] Yes. I hear you. [Verse 1 — Voice A] I once called from that darkness, So I reached my hand below, “I know the way, just follow me, I'll show you where to go.” [Voice B] But your steps aren't my footsteps, Your answers aren't my own. I hear every word you're saying— Still I have to climb alone. [Voice A] Then tell me how to save you. [Voice B] Maybe that's not what I need. [Pre-Chorus — Alternating] [Voice A] I'll pull you out. [Voice B] Just stay. [Voice A] I'll show the way. [Voice B] Just stay. [Both] Sometimes love is not an answer. Sometimes love is staying near. [Chorus — Duet] [Voice A] I can't walk it for you— [Voice B] But you can walk beside me. [Voice A] I can't take your darkness— [Voice B] But you can help me see. [Voice A] I can't promise you tomorrow— [Voice B] Just don't disappear today. [Both] You don't have to save me. Just don't turn away. [Verse 2 — Voice B] Don't tell me how you conquered it, Don't tell me I should try. Sit with me and hear me When I cannot tell you why. [Voice A] Then I will stop fixing, And start listening instead. I cannot carry all your steps— But I can walk ahead. [Bridge — Call & Response] [Voice A] What do you need? [Voice B] Your presence. [Voice A] What should I say? [Voice B] My name. [Voice A] And if I cannot save you? [Voice B] Love me anyway. [Final Chorus — Duet] [Voice A] I can't walk it for you— [Voice B] But you can walk beside me. [Voice A] I can't fight your battles— [Voice B] But you can stand by me. [Both] No rescuing, No promises, No perfect words to say. Sometimes the greatest gift Is simply choosing to stay. [Outro — Voice B] Can anybody hear me? [Voice A] I'm here. [Voice B] Will you stay? [Voice A] I'm here. [Both] We'll walk and grow together.
