[Verse 1]
She carries stillness like a second skin,
A quiet tide that holds the world within,
She'll give you roots before she shows her fire,
A steady flame that burns a little higher,
They see the calm, they never see the cost,
The version of herself she's kept and almost lost

[PreChorus]
But every wall she built was proof of knowing,
That she was worth protecting while she's growing

[Chorus]
Deirdre, you were written in the deep,
A kind of rare that no one else can keep,
You are the earth, you are the turning light,
You were made for more than holding yourself tight

[Verse 2]
A mind that races faster than she'll say,
She reads the room before the words find their way,
She loves like something ancient, slow, and true,
A devotion she's afraid to follow through,
She's craved connection and a place to land,
But gave her whole heart before she claimed her hand

[PreChorus]
The tension living in her isn't broken,
It's the depth of everything left unspoken

[Chorus]
Deirdre, you were written in the deep,
A kind of rare that no one else can keep,
You are the earth, you are the turning light,
You were made for more than holding yourself tight

[Verse 3]
There's a lion somewhere underneath the lake,
A warmth she dims so no one sees her ache,
She's learned to earn the space that she was owed,
Mistook approval for a lighter load,
The wound that whispered she was never quite enough,
Was wrong about the gold inside that rough

[PreChorus]
The path that called her name was always hers to claim,
She never had to prove herself to play this game

[Chorus]
Deirdre, you were written in the deep,
A kind of rare that no one else can keep,
You are the earth, you are the turning light,
You were made for more than holding yourself tight

[Verse 4]
The cosmos drew her careful, line by line,
A soul built bold enough to redefine,
What success looks like when it's truly yours,
What love becomes when it's not keeping score,
She's standing at the threshold of her own,
The truest version, finally come home

[PreChorus]
The stars aligned and held their breath to find her,
Left a trail of light to always remind her

[Chorus]
Deirdre, you were written in the deep,
A kind of rare that no one else can keep,
You are the earth, you are the turning light,
You were made for more than holding yourself tight

[Bridge]
You don't need to shrink for anyone to see,
The world needs every part of who you'll be,
You were never too much, never too small,
You were always, already, worth it all

[Outro]
The ground beneath you knows your name,
You came here whole, you leave the same,
Every tide that rose inside was true,
There was never anyone like you
