[Hook –immediate start ] I watched you fall… but every-time, you rose again You don’t see it, but I swear you always did shine then (and now) [Verse 1] You were running on a heartbreak bend She left shadows where the light should’ve been And you’re standing in the echo of it all Saying maybe you’re the reason for the fall No— You’ve carried more than anyone your age should hold But you keep moving with a quiet kind of bold [Chorus – early] Don’t give up now, boy, you’ve got so much left to give If she can’t love you whole, someone else will Every part of you deserves to live Not half-seen, not half-felt— Just real Just real [Alt-Hook] I watched you fall, watched you fight, watched you climb Every scar on you is proof you’ll rise this time [Verse 2] You say you’re tired of being brave Tired of fixing every crack she made But listen—strength was never meant to break you And loving her was never meant to shape you Small You’re not small You’re the storm and the calm, and you’re worth it all [Alt-Chorus] Stand up now, boy, your heart’s still beating loud If she walked away, that’s her loss now You are fire, you are weight, you are vow Someone out there’s waiting to love you proud [Bridge – delicate] Take a breath, let it shake It’s okay to be undone But don’t mistake The ending of her story For the ending of your one [Final Chorus – lifted] Don’t give up now, boy, you’ve got so much left to give If she can’t love you whole, someone else will Every piece of you deserves to live And I swear— You’ll rise You always rise Just rise [Outro / Refrain] I watched you fall… And I’ll watch you rise again.
