[Verse 1]
Moving through the days like a river with no shore,
Giving every drop away, then wondering what for,
A mind that never rests, a heart that never quits,
Tending every broken thing, learning how each fits,
They see the steady hands, they miss the weight you hold,
The ones who pour for everyone run dry in the cold

[PreChorus]
But the depth you carry isn't emptiness, it's proof,
That something vast and patient lives in you

[Chorus]
Terry, you were written in a complicated light,
Too much for easy mornings, too real for shallow nights,
The stars don't make mistakes and neither did they with you,
You are held, you are known, you are long overdue

[Verse 2]
There's a fire in your blood that moves before the dawn,
An urgency beneath your ribs that keeps on pushing on,
You love like something ancient, steady, rooted, true,
But you've been aching for the kind of love you give to others too,
The wound around connection runs so quietly deep,
You guard the door to your own heart while everyone else sleeps

[PreChorus]
But longing for reciprocity is not a flaw or shame,
It's a soul that knows exactly what it came here to claim

[Chorus]
Terry, you were written in a complicated light,
Too much for easy mornings, too real for shallow nights,
The stars don't make mistakes and neither did they with you,
You are held, you are known, you are long overdue

[Verse 3]
You carry other people's weather like it's naturally yours,
Absorbing every undercurrent, standing at their doors,
A mind that thinks in poetry, a heart too wide to hide,
An ocean-deep intelligence that no one sees inside,
The world has taken freely from the well that you provide,
But even rivers find the sea — you haven't been denied

[PreChorus]
Something gentle shifts the air, a healing turning near,
What was given without measure now comes back to meet you here

[Chorus]
Terry, you were written in a complicated light,
Too much for easy mornings, too real for shallow nights,
The stars don't make mistakes and neither did they with you,
You are held, you are known, you are long overdue

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to finally come first,
The ground beneath you holds you, even at your worst,
What you've tended, what you've carried, wasn't lost or in vain,
The same hands you gave away with — can receive again

[Outro]
You are not behind, you're not too late,
The universe is turning, and it knows your name,
Everything you've weathered brought you to this place,
Terry, you were always worth the love you gave away
