Verse 1 – Kitty [Female Vocals]

Verse 1 – Kitty [Female Vocals] You stand in the shadows, watching every move Quiet protector with something to prove [female vocals] You carry your battles like weight on your chest But I see the heart you try to suppress You think you’re just surviving day to day [female vocals] But I’ve watched you rise in your own quiet way More than the silence, more than the scars You’ve always been stronger than you think you are Verse 2 – Knox [Male Vocals] I learned real quick not everyone stays So I keep my distance, move through the haze Too many nights where trust fell apart [male vocals] Left me guarded, protecting my heart I know I went quiet, stepped back from the crowd Fighting my battles without saying them loud [male vocals] But you saw through walls I tried to defend And reminded me how to trust again Pre-Chorus – Kitty & Knox [Female Vocals] Kitty: You don’t have to carry it alone tonight [Male Vocals] Knox: Still learning how to step into the light [Female and Male Vocals together] Both: Two broken roads somehow aligned Finding strength we didn’t know we’d find Chorus – Both [Female and male vocals] From where we stand, we’re stronger than before Through every closed heart and every slammed door Ride or die, yeah we stay side by side Through every storm and every low tide [female and male vocals] Loyal and fierce but healing slow Learning to trust what we didn’t know You see the silence — I see the fight Together we’re stepping into the light Verse 3 – Kitty [Female Vocals] You’ve calmed the chaos, learned when to breathe More gentle strength than you let them see Driven and smart with a quiet grace [female vocals] A softer heart behind that brave face You guard your feelings like hidden gold But I see the warmth you try to withhold When you laugh, the whole world shifts That goofy soul is one of your gifts Verse 4 – Knox [Male vocals] You stood beside me when doubt ran deep When the nights got heavy and I couldn’t sleep You saw the man I was scared to be [male vocals] Held up a mirror so I could see I’m ride or die — that’s just who I am Protecting my people whenever I can But I’m learning it’s okay to feel To let my guard down and finally heal Pre-Chorus – Kitty & Knox [female vocals] Kitty: Every scar helped shape your name [male vocals] Knox: Every loss lit a different flame [female and male vocals together] Both: Through the silence, through the pain We found a reason to rise again Chorus – Both [female and male vocals] From where we stand, we’re stronger than before Through every closed heart and every slammed door [female and male vocals] Ride or die, yeah we stay side by side Through every storm and every low tide Loyal and fierce but healing slow Learning to trust what we didn’t know You see the silence — I see the fight Together we’re stepping into the light Bridge – Split Lines [female vocals] Kitty: You’re more than the sadness you carry inside [male vocals] Knox: You’re the reason I don’t have to hide [female vocals] Kitty: More than the silence that once kept you small [male vocals] Knox: You helped me stand when I thought I would fall [female and male vocals] Both: Through the family we chose and the love we defend We found ourselves — best friend to best friend Final Chorus – Both (Harmony) [harmony female and male vocals together] From where we stand, we’re finally free Becoming the people we’re meant to be Ride or die through the dark and light Holding the line, ready to fight Loyal and true with hearts that see The strength it takes just to be me You saw my silence — I found my voice Together we rise — together by choice Outro – Kitty & Knox [male vocals] Knox: I’m more than the past I used to hide [female vocals] Kitty: You’ve always had that strength inside [female and male vocals] Both: Through every shadow, through every scar We became stronger for who we are.
