[Verse 1]
She reads the room before she reads the page,
Feels the weight of what's unspoken, turn by turn,
There's a stillness in the way she holds her gaze,
Like still water over something built to burn,
She's been mapping every exit, every door,
Always giving more than she was given for

[PreChorus]
But the depth they see is just the surface of the sea,
There's a whole world underneath that she's afraid to free

[Chorus]
Annaliese, you don't have to disappear,
Every quiet part of you is worth being here,
The tide inside you rises like it always knew,
There was never anything broken about you

[Verse 2]
She loves in careful handwriting, not loud,
In the detail that she notices and holds,
In the remembering, the showing up, the vow,
She gives her heart in ways that go untold,
She's been searching for the real beneath the shine,
For a love that doesn't crumble over time

[PreChorus]
She's been running between lightning and the need to stay,
Half in every room and never all the way

[Chorus]
Annaliese, you don't have to disappear,
Every quiet part of you is worth being here,
The tide inside you rises like it always knew,
There was never anything broken about you

[Verse 3]
She's walked the edge of certainty and doubt,
Felt like she belonged and then like she did not,
Carried visions of a world she dreamed about,
And built her quiet power on every broken thought,
The wound of feeling lost became her clearest map,
The seeking is the sacred, not the gap

[PreChorus]
She was never meant to fit the mould they made,
She was born the kind of light that doesn't need the shade

[Chorus]
Annaliese, you don't have to disappear,
Every quiet part of you is worth being here,
The tide inside you rises like it always knew,
There was never anything broken about you

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully in October frost,
Every contradiction held, no piece was ever lost,
The world needs what you carry in your quiet hands,
Let yourself be found exactly where you stand

[Outro]
You are the depth, the question, and the shore,
Annaliese, you were always, always more
