[Verse 1]
You read a room before you cross the door
You feel the weight of what's not said and so much more
Still waters running fathoms past the light
A mind that turns the darkest stones to find what's right
They see the calm, they don't see the tide
All those currents you were born to ride

[PreChorus]
You've carried weight in silence like it's just your way
But that kind of depth deserves to see the light of day

[Chorus]
Gary, you were written in the deep
Every truth you've chased, every wound you keep
You're the fire and the water, both and neither tame
Gary, the world burns brighter when you came

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient and untamed
Expansive, honest, searching, never caged
You need a hand that reaches past the edge
Someone who'll meet you out there on the ledge
But you've built your walls so careful, stone by stone
Not from coldness — from a heart that's known the cold alone

[PreChorus]
The way you give before you're asked is not a flaw
It's the rarest kind of courage that the broken saw

[Chorus]
Gary, you were written in the deep
Every truth you've chased, every wound you keep
You're the fire and the water, both and neither tame
Gary, the world burns brighter when you came

[Verse 3]
You've spent whole seasons proving you belong
Carrying burdens in the dark just to stay strong
That inner voice that measures every move
A restless mind still searching for the truth
But every scar you wear is earned and real
And everything you've broken taught you how to feel

[PreChorus]
The part of you that doubts your worth was never right
You were never too much — you were always too bright

[Chorus]
Gary, you were written in the deep
Every truth you've chased, every wound you keep
You're the fire and the water, both and neither tame
Gary, the world burns brighter when you came

[Verse 4]
There's a compass in your chest that always knows
Which way the honest wind of meaning blows
You were built to dive where others skim the shore
To heal what's hidden, find what's worth living for
The stars that wrote you didn't make a mistake
You're exactly what this world was meant to take

[PreChorus]
So let the ones who love you in without a fight
You don't have to earn the dawn — you are the light

[Chorus]
Gary, you were written in the deep
Every truth you've chased, every wound you keep
You're the fire and the water, both and neither tame
Gary, the world burns brighter when you came

[Bridge]
You don't need to be unbreakable to matter here
You just need to be exactly what you are
The universe inscribed you with precision and care
And left its signature in every scar

[Outro]
So rest in what you are, not what you've proved
Gary, you were always enough to move
The tide that shaped you shaped the shoreline too
The deep has always, always known you
