[Verse 1] You look at me with guilt in your eyes As if your tears have stolen my skies But my love, if only you knew Every storm was worth it to carry you through [Pre-Chorus] You say I gave too much, too soon But what I gave, I gave for you [Chorus] You were never a burden, not even close You’re the reason I rise when I need it most You’re the fight in my heart, the light in my day If I could, I’d do it all the same Don’t carry that weight, don’t hold that lie You are my purpose, not the reason I cry You were never a burden, you’ve always been My greatest why, my sweetest win [Verse 2] I’ve seen you doubt your worth at night Torn between questions and silent fights But baby, your soul is made of stars And no mistake could dim who you are [Pre-Chorus] If you feel lost, just take my hand I’ll remind you who I know you am [Chorus] You were never a burden, not even close You’re the reason I rise when I need it most You’re the fight in my heart, the light in my day If I could, I’d do it all the same Don’t carry that weight, don’t hold that lie You are my purpose, not the reason I cry You were never a burden, you’ve always been My greatest why, my sweetest win [Bridge] If my hands are tired, it's from love I chose If I bend, it’s only to help you grow There’s nothing I’d change, no second guessed Being your mom is my proudest yes [Final Chorus] You were never a burden—how could you be? You are my melody, my legacy So hold your head high, and if you fall Know I’d still carry it all Don’t ever forget, when you question your place You are loved beyond all space You were never a burden, my precious one You are my daughter, my moon, my sun
