[Verse 1]
I leave the porch light on when you come home late
Warm the plate, lock the door, carry more than my weight
I learned the shape of every silence you make
And still I reach across the distance for your sake
I fix the loose hinge, I swallow my pride
Keep the hard words folded somewhere inside
You take the effort like air in the room
Never see the hands that keep making space for you
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not asking for a crown
Just one sign you see me now
[Chorus]
I give you all I have, even when it disappears
Hold the pieces of us steady through the years
You may never find the words, you may never understand
But I’ll still choose you with these tired hands
If gratitude never comes, if the silence stays the same
My love won’t turn its back or set fire to your name
I’m worn down, I’m breaking, but this much remains:
I will love you through the weight
[Verse 2]
I know the bills, the birthdays, the medicine by the bed
The thousand little promises that keep this life ahead
You notice what is missing, never what I gave
I’m standing in the doorway of the home I tried to save
I’ve been a wall against the weather
A steady pulse beneath your fear
But every sacrifice gets lighter
When I know you’re really here
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not asking you to kneel
Just let me know that this is real
[Chorus]
I give you all I have, even when it disappears
Hold the pieces of us steady through the years
You may never find the words, you may never understand
But I’ll still choose you with these tired hands
If gratitude never comes, if the silence stays the same
My love won’t turn its back or set fire to your name
I’m worn down, I’m breaking, but this much remains:
I will love you through the weight
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m a fool for staying
Maybe hope has left a stain
But I remember why I promised
And I won’t let hurt rewrite your name
I need more than being needed
I need somewhere to be seen
Still, beneath the disappointment
You are home to me
[Breakdown]
I gave my blood
I gave my sleep
I gave the parts of me I couldn’t keep
No, I won’t pretend
This doesn’t hurt
But I won’t make your silence mean I’m worth less
[Final Chorus]
I give you all I have, though it’s harder every year
Hold the pieces of us close despite the fear
You may never find the words, but I finally understand:
Love is not applause; it’s a choice I make and stand
If gratitude never comes, I’ll still ask for something true
Not a perfect heart—just a hand reaching back through
I’m worn down, I’m healing, but this much remains:
I will love you through the weight
[Outro]
Through the weight
Through the ache
I’ll keep choosing us—but I need you to wake
Through the weight
Through the years
I still love you
I just need you here
