[Verse 1]
She reads the room before she's even crossed the door,
Feels the weight of what's unspoken, what lies beneath the floor,
Still waters on the surface, but the ocean runs so deep,
She carries other people's storms and barely gets to sleep,
Her roots go down to bedrock, to the bones of what is real,
Home is where the truth lives, and the truth is what she feels

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those fathoms she keeps locked inside

[Chorus]
Sue, you are the deep and the shore,
The one who holds the light when others find no door,
You don't need to be perfect, just present and true,
The universe wrote carefully when it wrote you

[Verse 2]
She loves in quiet gestures, in the details no one sees,
Remembers what you mentioned once, in passing, by degrees,
She gives before she's asked to, and she gives until it's gone,
Then wonders why the silence makes it harder to hold on,
She longs for something honest, something solid, something rare,
A love that doesn't need a mask, a hand that's always there

[PreChorus]
She's built a careful fortress, strong and tall,
But the bravest thing she's done is letting someone through the wall

[Chorus]
Sue, you are the deep and the shore,
The one who holds the light when others find no door,
You don't need to be perfect, just present and true,
The universe wrote carefully when it wrote you

[Verse 3]
She's questioned every system that was handed down by birth,
Gone searching for the meaning underneath the surface of the earth,
Her mind moves like a river through the symbols and the signs,
She finds the truth that others miss, between the written lines,
The wound that asked her who she was became the door she walked through,
And everything she thought was broken made her truer

[PreChorus]
She doesn't need a stage to make her mark,
She's been the steady ember in the dark

[Chorus]
Sue, you are the deep and the shore,
The one who holds the light when others find no door,
You don't need to be perfect, just present and true,
The universe wrote carefully when it wrote you

[Bridge]
The tides that pulled you under made you strong,
Every transformation moved you where you belong,
What you carry isn't burden — it's your claim,
You were written in the stars before you had a name

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you are seen,
Every layer, every shadow, every space between,
You are held, you are whole, you are enough,
Sue, you always were
