Verse 1

I see the dishes, I see the weight you bear,

The world piling on like it don’t play fair.

And I won’t tell you “smile,” won’t say “be strong,”

I’ll just sit here with you when the nights feel long.

Verse 2

You don’t owe the crowd a polished face,

You don’t have to win or keep the pace.

You’re more than the shadows that stalk your bed,

More than the storm that lives in your head.

Chorus

You’re not alone in the dark, my friend,

I’ll sit beside you until it bends.

When the silence feels too loud to stand,

I’ll keep the light burning in my hand.

No fixing, no mask, no false pretend,

Just me reminding you: this ain’t the end.

Verse 3

Unread messages, bills on the floor,

But none of that debt defines your core.

You don’t need to sparkle, don’t need to shine,

You’re worth the world just by being alive.

Verse 4

And when the mirror won’t return your stare,

When you see a stranger standing there,

I’ll remind you of the soul I know,

The one who’s stronger than she lets show.

Chorus

You’re not alone in the dark, my friend,

I’ll sit beside you until it bends.

When the silence feels too loud to stand,

I’ll keep the light burning in my hand.

No fixing, no mask, no false pretend,

Just me reminding you: this ain’t the end.

Bridge 1

Crawl if you need, or fall if you must,

You’ve still got my shoulder, my quiet trust.

The world can wait, let it pass outside,

I’ll be here steady, right by your side.

Verse 5

Even when the fight feels lost to time,

You’re still a verse in the grand design.

The weight may drag, the days may blur,

But I’ll carry faith when you’re unsure.

Bridge 2 (Soft Build)

Don’t have to roar, don’t have to rise,

I’ll hold the fire while you close your eyes.

Every step, even small, is proof,

That you’re still here and still speaking truth.

Chorus (Expanded)

You’re not alone in the dark, my friend,

I’ll sit beside you until it bends.

When the silence feels too loud to stand,

I’ll keep the light burning in my hand.

No fixing, no mask, no false pretend,

Just me reminding you: this ain’t the end.

Final Verse

So when tomorrow comes, heavy or bright,

I’ll walk with you through the endless night.

Not as a savior, not as the cure,

But a brother who stays, steady and sure.

Final Chorus (Lifted)

You’re not alone in the loop, my friend,

The road keeps turning, it doesn’t end.

When you can’t see the light ahead,

I’ll hold it high till the shadows shed.

Still breathing, still human, still walking slow,

And I’ll walk with you till the daylight shows.

Outro

And when the quiet finally breaks its chain,

You’ll feel the sun cut through the rain.

Till then, just rest, don’t push, don’t race—

I’ll be right here, holding your space.
