Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Mm, mm
I built this for us
You just gotta see it
You just gotta see yourself
[Verse]
I laid the foundation where the rain couldn't reach
Put a little more faith underneath every dream
Made a room for your fears, let 'em breathe in the dark
Left the light on for you, put your name on my heart
You keep looking at the cracks like they're all that you are
Like the weight of your past left a permanent scar
But I see what you hide when you're turning away
There's a fire in your eyes that you're scared to display
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to run
You don't have to prove
You don't have to shrink
To fit inside this room
[Chorus]
I built a life for us
But you won't let it in
You say you're not enough
Like that's where your story ends
But you're more than that
More than what you lack
If you could see you through my eyes
You'd never hold yourself back
You're more than that
More than all the damage
I built a life for us
Baby, you belong inside it
[Post-Chorus]
Come closer
Don't fold over
Come closer
You're more than that
[Verse]
You wear your doubt like diamonds around your neck
Every "what if" got you cashing another check
On a future you keep saying you don't deserve
But I know your heart, I know what you're worth
You think love is a house that could fall overnight
So you stand at the doorway, never stepping inside
But I didn't build a castle for somebody else
I built somewhere safe for you to be yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to run
You don't have to prove
You don't have to bleed
To show me what you've been through
[Chorus]
I built a life for us
But you won't let it in
You say you're not enough
Like that's where your story ends
But you're more than that
More than what you lack
If you could see you through my eyes
You'd never hold yourself back
You're more than that
More than all the damage
I built a life for us
Baby, you belong inside it
[Rap Verse]
Look
I know the world taught you to move like a ghost
Keep your head down low, never ask for the most
But I'm not offering pity, I'm offering proof
Every brick in this home got a piece of the truth
You were fighting your reflection, I was watching you shine
You were counting every failure, I was counting your tries
No perfect little picture, no pretending for show
Just a place where your scars don't decide where you go
You say, "What if I ruin it?" I say, "What if you don't?"
What if everything you fear is the reason you grow?
What if you're not broken, just afraid of the view?
I made all this space, but it starts with you
[Bridge]
Let the old voice fade
Let the locked door break
You don't have to carry
Every mistake
I'll be right here
When the silence gets loud
You don't have to disappear
To make me proud
[Vocal Break]
More than that
More than that
You're more than that
Don't let the past
Tell you who you are
Don't let the dark
Cover every star
[Final Chorus]
I built a life for us
But you won't let it in
You say you're not enough
Like that's where your story ends
But you're more than that
More than what you lack
If you could see you through my eyes
You'd never hold yourself back
You're more than that
More than all the damage
I built a life for us
Baby, you belong inside it
[Outro]
I built a life for us
You don't have to earn it
I built a life for us
You don't have to be perfect
Come closer
Don't fold over
Come closer
You're more than that
