Invisible Work

Verse 1

You trace the cracks in everything you give

Hands full of effort no one sees you live

You pour like rain on a roof that won’t sing

Echo comes back like it’s not worth a thing

You built a home out of maybe and try

They walk right through it, don’t ask you why

Every “thank you” feels lost in the air

Like breathing heavy but nobody cares

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You’re not a machine, you’re not a well that won’t run dry

You’re not here just to carry what they leave behind

⸻

Chorus

You should be loved out loud, not quietly used

Not just somebody they turn into fuel

I won’t keep giving where nothing returns

I’m done being fire that nobody learns

Find me a heart that sees what I do

Says “I see you” and means it too

I want a love that don’t make me prove

I’m more than the work I do for you

⸻

Verse 2

They carved perfection into your skin

Made every flaw feel like a sin

But you’re a mosaic, cracked but gold

Not something to fix, not something to mold

You shrink yourself just to fit their frame

Lose your voice just to dodge the blame

But love ain’t pressure, love ain’t a test

It’s hands that hold you when you’re a mess

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You don’t need fixing, you don’t need to be remade

You just need someone who won’t make you feel afraid

⸻

Chorus

You should be loved out loud, not quietly used

Not just somebody they turn into fuel

I won’t keep giving where nothing returns

I’m done being fire that nobody learns

Find me a heart that sees what I do

Says “I see you” and means it too

I want a love that don’t make me prove

I’m more than the work I do for you

⸻

Bridge (stripped down → build up)

Take the weight off my chest

I don’t need perfect, I just need rest

No more bending just to belong

If it breaks me, it’s already wrong

(beat kicks back in)

I want ease, not a war every night

I want calm, not a constant fight

If it adds to the pressure I feel

Then it’s not, it’s not real

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger, raw)

I should be loved out loud, not quietly used

Not just somebody you turn into fuel

I won’t keep giving where nothing returns

I’m done being fire you never learned

Find me a heart that eases the weight

Not one that adds to the ache I create

I want a love that finally proves

I’m more than the work I do for you

⸻

Outro (soft, almost spoken)

Find someone who lightens the load…

Not someone who makes you carry it alone.
