Been thinking a lot about deals and promises signed We built something strong Both hands intertwined We wake before sunrise Balancing the ledgers of the day Counting what we give and what we choose to let slip away You bring your own hustle, your own dreams and drive We don't sign over souls just to agree to thrive No chain on your name, no locks on your time There's respect in our contracts, every line by design Some say love is about holding tight But what about letting each other breathe Trusting spaces I guide in life Freedom is a faith we weave Who am I to hold you down, is love real if it's bound? Every touch, every vow, can you stay if you're not allowed out? You're past my past, lessons laid on the table Mistakes and heartbreaks breaking out from the fable I've known ownership wasn't right I confess now I choose partnership Never settle in for less You are not possession, you are purpose and choice Every yes, every no, every laugh in your voice If freedom's not present, then love can't be found The more that we loosen the tighter we're swinging Our future's unwritten, still I bow to let go It's not about owning, it's about letting you grow Who am I to hold you down?
