Make Room for You

[Intro]
I don't have to win the room
To make a little space
I can meet you where you stand
And look you in the face

[Verse 1]
You read the world through different glass
I read it through my own
We turn our reasons into walls
Then call the other stone

I know the heat that climbs the throat
When certainty feels safe
But every person carries roads
No map can fully trace

[Pre-Chorus]
So before I name your failure
Before I make you small
I'll ask what shaped the way you see
And listen through it all

[Chorus]
I won't shame you for the window
That you learned to look through
You don't have to think like me
For me to make room for you
We can hold two truths together
Let the hard words lose their flame
I'll try to understand your heart
Before I judge your name

[Verse 2]
Your silence may be armor
Your anger may be fear
The joke I took as cruelty
Could hide a harder year

I don't need to bless the damage
I don't need to call it right
But I can draw a line with care
And leave your worth in sight

[Pre-Chorus]
If I only love the people
Who reflect my point of view
Then I'm guarding my reflection
Not discovering what's true

[Chorus]
I won't shame you for the window
That you learned to look through
You don't have to think like me
For me to make room for you
We can hold two truths together
Let the hard words lose their flame
I'll try to understand your heart
Before I judge your name

[Bridge]
Tell me what you carried here
Tell me what you couldn't say
Tell me where the ground gave way
And what still keeps you brave

I may challenge what you're doing
I may disagree out loud
But I won't turn your human life
Into a target for the crowd

[Breakdown]
Ask first!
Stay kind!
Leave room!
Change your mind!

[Final Chorus]
I won't shame you for the window
That you learned to look through
You don't have to think like me
For me to make room for you
We can hold two truths together
Without surrendering our spine
I'll protect your right to differ
While I draw a boundary line

[Final Refrain]
Different eyes, a wider picture
Different roads, the same unknown
If I want to be understood
I've got to understand your own

[Outro]
Before I call you broken
Before I turn away
I'll remember you are human
And I'm learning every day
