The Weight Of My Heart

(Verse 1)

Before you step inside my world, read the cracks in the door

I’ve been breaking in silence, I’ve been here before

I flinch at the echoes, I bruise at the past

Every promise I held just couldn’t last

There are nights I disappear on the cold bedroom floor

Phone lighting up but I don’t answer anymore

I build up these walls, yeah I shut people out

It’s not that I hate you, it’s fear dressed as doubt

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m not easy, I’m not light

I come with shadows in the night

⸻

(Chorus)

So if you’re gonna love me, don’t you leave halfway

Don’t say forever if you don’t mean to stay

I need your voice when my mind turns dark

Need you to hold me when I fall apart

I’m a wildfire, I’m a scar you can’t hide

I need you choosing me, every night

If you can’t carry the weight of my heart

Don’t even start… don’t even start

⸻

(Verse 2)

Trust don’t come easy, it drips in time

Every “I love you” feels like a crime

‘Cause I’ve heard it before, yeah I’ve seen how it ends

With empty rooms and broken friends

When I say I’m not okay, don’t just let it slide

That’s me reaching out from the other side

I’ll need reassurance, more than you planned

Not just your words, I need your hand

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m a question you can’t fake

A risk you choose to take

⸻

(Chorus)

So if you’re gonna love me, don’t you leave halfway

Don’t say forever if you don’t mean to stay

I need your voice when my mind turns dark

Need you to hold me when I fall apart

I’m a wildfire, I’m a scar you can’t hide

I need you choosing me, every night

If you can’t carry the weight of my heart

Don’t even start… don’t even start

⸻

(Bridge – softer, almost whispered)

I’m not always sunshine, not always strong

Some days I’m barely holding on

But if you stay when I can’t stand

I’ll give you more than I am

⸻

(Final Chorus – bigger, layered)

So if you’re gonna love me, love me all the way

Through every storm I couldn’t say

Through every night I lose the light

Through every wrong that feels so right

I’m a wildfire, I’m a heart on a wire

I’m fear and hope and raw desire

If you can’t carry the truth of my scars

Don’t touch my heart… don’t touch my heart
