Lyrics

[Verse]
I work my bones till they creak and cry
Sweat stains my shirt while the days drift by
All for you I climb this hill so steep
But where’s my name when you start to speak

[Verse 2]
My hands have built each brick you tread
My words unsaid but they’re painted red
I’m your shadow when the sun’s to blame
Yet I’m no hero never get a name

[Chorus]
For you it’s roses for me it’s thorns
I carry storms while your skies are born
I give the world but I’ll stay unseen
A king in love but I’m your routine

[Verse 3]
I’d hold the stars if they'd brighten your night
Tied to the grind no wings for flight
Plates in the sink you never hear them sing
Another silence given everything

[Bridge]
Kicked back in a chair I’m the ghost of the house
The quiet is heavy trapped inside my vows
Who lifts the weight who takes the blame
Invisible man with a husband’s name

[Chorus]
For you it’s roses for me it’s scars
I’ll break my back for broken stars
I give the world but I’ll stay unseen
A worn-out heart in the in-between
