Lyrics
They greet her with silence, a shadow at the door
She stands beside me, yet they see her no more
Every word feels hollow, like she's not meant to stay
A guest in their eyes while I lead the way
But her smile fades, though she won't let it show
A quiet ache that only I know
I hold her hand, but it slips through mine
Carrying guilt that isn't defined
Her place in my heart, it's more than they'll see
A love that runs deeper than blood or decree
In her eyes, I see the hurt I can't mend
Though I try, I can't make their walls bend
Her family's warmth is a light in the cold
They call me their son, their love uncontrolled
Every gift, every thought, they always include
A place at their table, a gesture renewed
But I see the divide that I didn't create
Two worlds I can't bridge, two hearts I berate
Her laughter hides the pain she won't share
And I wonder if love alone will repair
Her place in my heart, it's more than they'll see
A love that runs deeper than blood or decree
In her eyes, I see the hurt I can't mend
Though I try, I can't make their walls bend
I carry the weight of what's not in my hands
Her tears in the night, I can't understand
How can they not see the light in her soul
A love so pure, it makes me whole
Her place in my heart, it's more than they'll see
A love that runs deeper than blood or decree
I wish I could show them the beauty inside
But their walls are too high, and our love must abide
Her place in my heart, it's more than they'll see
A love that runs deeper than blood or decree
I wish I could show them the beauty inside
But their walls are too high, and our love must abide
