[Verse]
You read the room before a word is said,
Catching every shift, every thread.
Restless mind that runs in twos and threes,
You talk it through till the static frees.
Heart on display though you wish it weren't,
Every small dismissal somehow burns.
You've learned to bend, to smooth, to play it light,
But something underneath still wants to fight.

[Pre-Chorus]
You keep score in silence, add it slow,
A debt of love that nobody else can know.
But the same ache that taught you how to guard
Is teaching you that softness isn't hard.

[Chorus]
Vanessa, you were built from balance and from fire,
Gentle waters wrapped around a deep desire.
The scales don't have to choose, they hold both true,
Every contradiction is the proof of you.

[Verse]
You love like diving into something vast,
All or nothing, nothing built to last
Unless it's real — then you don't let go,
Loyal in a way most people never know.
Someone hurt the part of you that trusts the fall,
So now you watch the door before you give it all.
But the ones who stay, who meet you halfway through,
Find a love that's bottomless and true.

[Pre-Chorus]
What if the wall was never meant to stay?
What if it cracked to let the right light play?

[Chorus]
Vanessa, you were built from balance and from fire,
Gentle waters wrapped around a deep desire.
The scales don't have to choose, they hold both true,
Every contradiction is the proof of you.

[Bridge]
There's a version of your life still unwritten,
Where the overthinking softens, and you're smitten
With your own becoming — not what you should be,
But the wide, strange, tender thing that's wholly free.
You're walking toward a quieter kind of brave,
One where you take up space instead of giving it away.

[Outro]
So let the scales tip toward yourself sometimes,
Vanessa — the balance was always partly mine to find.
You were never too much, never hard to hold,
Just a story still being told.
