[Verse 1]
She reads the room before she reads herself,
Weighing every word like books upon a shelf,
She sees both sides so clearly it's a kind of ache,
Holding peace together for everyone else's sake,
There's a grace in how she moves through the noise,
A whole storm living quiet behind her poise

[PreChorus]
But the scales she carries have a hidden weight,
She gives the world her balance, keeps the rest and waits

[Chorus]
Cathy, you are more than what you hold in line,
The calm you give the world is not the whole design,
You are water running deeper than the eye can see,
Written in the stars so carefully

[Verse 2]
She loves like something fated, not a shallow tide,
Wants to merge completely, then runs back to hide,
One part craves the open, one part guards the door,
Giving all of everything and still afraid it's not enough or more,
She notices the details that the rest walk past,
Building something worthy, building something meant to last

[PreChorus]
The mind that never rests is not a broken thing,
It's the same precision that makes everything mean something

[Chorus]
Cathy, you are more than what you hold in line,
The calm you give the world is not the whole design,
You are water running deeper than the eye can see,
Written in the stars so carefully

[Verse 3]
She's searched for where she fits inside the crowd,
Carried quiet longings she was never quite allowed,
Felt the sting of circles that could not contain her truth,
That ache of almost belonging is the scar that became proof,
She descends into the darkness not to drown but to return,
Every depth she's traveled through became a lantern she could earn

[PreChorus]
The ones who've been through fire know the worth of their own flame,
She's not here to shrink herself or carry someone else's name

[Chorus]
Cathy, you are more than what you hold in line,
The calm you give the world is not the whole design,
You are water running deeper than the eye can see,
Written in the stars so carefully

[Bridge]
Let the part that's always giving learn to open her own hand,
What she's asked the world to offer, she already holds and understands,
The cosmos didn't draft her just to keep the peace and fade,
She was written into being for the light that she was made

[Outro]
The stars don't make mistakes and neither does she,
Cathy, you were always more than enough, already free
