Verse 1
I saw you crying in the car last night
You thought I didn’t know,
The way you wiped your eyes before
You came back in so slow.
You hold yourself together and think I can not see,
But in the silence, I can feel
All the things you don’t want me to see.
Verse 2
They call your name out in the halls — I see it in their eyes,
The way they look at you with hope & care
There’s no way they can disguise.
You think I don’t notice when you’re quiet or not there,
But I know you fight your battles too
This cancer’s so unfair
Every fear you hide away
Still echoes in my ears,
But you turn it into strength for me
And push back all the fears.
Chorus
You stand strong for me — though I know you’ve hit the floor,
You stand strong for me — like you promised, but give more.
When the darkness comes for both of us — you’re my steady light,
You stand strong for me — every day and every night.
Verse 3
I see you watch my breathing — like you’re counting every beat,
Building up the hope we have
from numbers incomplete.
You memorize the pills they give
The timing and the names,
But I see the love behind it all —
Not just the mental pain.
And when they ask you how you are
You always say you’re fine,
But I hear the truth you’re holding back
Between each fragile line.
Bridge
You say that I’m the one who’s sick
But I can feel your pain,
You fight a war beside me here
In ways you don’t explain.
And when the world forgets to ask
What it costs you to stay so strong,
I see the weight you carry still
And how you still push on.
So when you turn away from me
To hide what you go through,
Just know I see the strength it takes —
And I see ALL OF YOU.
Final Chorus
You stand strong for me — though I know you’ve hit the floor,
You stand strong for me — like you promised, but give more.
When the darkness comes for both of us — you’re my steady light,
You stand strong for me — every day and every night.
Outro
So if I smile a little more — it’s not just to be brave,
It’s everything you give to me
In every step you gave.
And every time you think you fall — I see you rising through,
Because the battles you think you hide
Gives me the strength to give to you.
