Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to hold the whole world up by myself
Turned pain into power, hid the struggle well
Never needed nobody, at least that’s what I’d say
Till you came and offered me a different way

You picked up my daughter like she was your own
Now she calls you daddy when I’m feeling alone
You gave me shelter when I laid down my pride
But leaning on love still terrifies

⸻

[Chorus]
And maybe I’m too much
And maybe you’re too guarded
But somehow we keep choosing each other, broken-hearted
I miss you when you’re gone, but I trust you when you’re near
Even when I’m crying, I still want you here
So take the pieces, take the flaws I never showed
You’ve got all of me — anyway, I hope you know

⸻

[Verse 2]
You say I don’t listen, I say I don’t feel heard
We talk in circles and still miss the words
I want you to fight for me the way I fight for you
But your love comes quiet… and maybe that’s true too

Sometimes I think you’re slipping, and I can’t prove wrong
And sometimes I get distant, try to act strong
But even through the doubt and the space and the ache
I never once thought this was a mistake

⸻

[Chorus]
And maybe I’m too much
And maybe you’re too guarded
But somehow we keep choosing each other, broken-hearted
I miss you when you’re gone, but I trust you when you’re near
Even when I’m crying, I still want you here
So take the pieces, take the flaws I never showed
You’ve got all of me — anyway, I hope you know

⸻

[Outro]
You’re not perfect, but neither am I
And still I look at you like the stars in my sky
So if loving me’s heavy and hard to explain
Just know you’re my calm… even when I bring rain
