Letras
I spent years wearing armor I didn't need
Carrying weight from words I couldn't read
Hiding the cracks, keeping the guard
Pretending the soft parts weren't hard
Then you sat quiet and let me unwind
Didn't ask me to leave anything behind
You let me be myself
No fixing, no changing, no book on the shelf
Just room to stand in my own skin
You let me be myself again
Free to be rough, free to be whole
You saw the man behind the role
I don't clean up my stories for you
Don't polish the edges or hide what is true
You take the silence when words run dry
And never make me explain why
Your steady gaze gave me the space
To drop the mask and find my face
You let me be myself
No fixing, no changing, no book on the shelf
Just room to stand in my own skin
You let me be myself again
Free to be rough, free to be whole
You saw the man behind the role
I didn't know how tired I was
Until you let me drop the cause
You let me be myself
And in that gift I found my health
Breathing deeper than years before
Lighter than the man I wore
Thank you for the quiet you give
Teaching me how I want to live
