5. Dont Gotta Do It Alone

Hook Hmm-mmm… When the weight gets too heavy to hold Baby, lean into me, don’t fold I know you strong, I know you bold But even stars fall slow when they glow You don’t gotta do it alone You don’t gotta do it alone ⸻ Verse 1: Lately you been walking with your head real low Carrying storms that the world don’t know Trying to stand tall, but your knees feel cold Like winter moved into your bones You talk like you made of iron, But iron still cries when the fire gets silent You don’t gotta drown in the silence Let me be the one you confide in Hook: When the weight gets too heavy to hold Baby, lean into me, don’t fold I know you strong, I know you bold But even stars fall slow when they glow You don’t gotta do it alone You don’t gotta do it alone ⸻ Verse 2: Everybody want your light, but who holds you? Everybody want your love, but who shows you? You been giving from a cup that’s draining Still somehow, you keep on claiming “I’m fine, I’m good, I’m straight…” Even as your shoulders shake You don’t have to break in the dark Let me place my palms around your heart Hook: When the weight gets too heavy to hold Baby, lean into me, don’t fold I know you strong, I know you bold But even stars fall slow when they glow You don’t gotta do it alone You don’t gotta do it alone ⸻ Verse 3: This love ain’t charity, it’s home This touch ain’t pity, it’s known I recognize the tremble in your voice I recognize the pause in your choice Cause I been lost too, walked through rooms Where the walls swallowed everything I knew But help was the bridge I crossed to come back So let me be that bridge for you too Hook When the weight gets too heavy to hold Baby, lean into me, don’t fold I know you strong, I know you bold But even stars fall slow when they glow You don’t gotta do it alone You don’t gotta do it alone ⸻ Outro Rest here. Lay your fire down. Let your chest unclench. The world can wait a moment. You’re safe to be held. You don’t gotta do it alone.
