[Verse 1]
There's a scale inside you, always weighing things with care,
A mind that reads the room before you've pulled back a single chair,
You carry other people's storms like they were yours to tame,
And smile through every tremor like the ground's not done the same,
They see the poise, the steady hand, the grace beneath the light,
But no one sees the ocean floor you swim through every night,

[PreChorus]
You've learned to speak in measured tones to keep the peace,
But the truest parts of you were never meant to crease,

[Chorus]
Stephanie, you were written in the space between the stars,
Every question that you carry is a compass, not a scar,
You don't need to earn the softness that was always yours to keep,
You are wide awake and worthy, even in the in-between,

[Verse 2]
There's a fire you keep hidden like it's dangerous to show,
A lion's kind of courage running warm beneath the snow,
You move behind the curtain doing quiet, sacred work,
The kind that holds the world together while it tries to shirk,
You give before you're asked to, love before you need to know,
And trust that if you plant enough, eventually it'll grow,

[PreChorus]
The hunger in your marrow isn't restlessness or lack,
It's the horizon calling you to keep the faith intact,

[Chorus]
Stephanie, you were written in the space between the stars,
Every question that you carry is a compass, not a scar,
You don't need to earn the softness that was always yours to keep,
You are wide awake and worthy, even in the in-between,

[Verse 3]
Your roots were tangled early, home a shifting, blurry thing,
So you built your own foundations from the quiet suffering,
You learned that love needs freedom like the wind needs open ground,
And you'd rather walk in truth alone than peace that doesn't sound,
Betray you once and something deep inside won't quite return,
That's not a wound — it's wisdom that you've paid the price to earn,

[PreChorus]
The world called it too much, too deep, too hard to reach,
But everything they doubted is the gift you're here to teach,

[Chorus]
Stephanie, you were written in the space between the stars,
Every question that you carry is a compass, not a scar,
You don't need to earn the softness that was always yours to keep,
You are wide awake and worthy, even in the in-between,

[Verse 4]
There's a place inside your chest where all the contradictions meet,
Where the need to feel belonging and the need for room compete,
You've stood inside your worth and felt it crumble like dry earth,
Then watched yourself rebuild it and assign it a new worth,
The universe has shaped you through the fractures and the flame,
And every time you've risen, you have never come back the same,

[PreChorus]
Stop waiting to be finished, stop waiting to arrive,
The wholeness that you're chasing is already how you thrive,

[Chorus]
Stephanie, you were written in the space between the stars,
Every question that you carry is a compass, not a scar,
You don't need to earn the softness that was always yours to keep,
You are wide awake and worthy, even in the in-between,

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that doesn't fade,
Every scar a quiet contract with the light that you have made,
You were never lost — you were always being led,
Trust the one who carries everything — trust her instead,

[Outro]
You are held inside a story older than your name,
And every piece of who you are was never yours to tame,
Let the stars that shaped you simply say what they know best —
You are enough, you always were, now finally rest,
