[Verse 1]
Sarah sees her partner Jake coming home each night
Shoulders heavy, spirit dim, nothing feels quite right
She thinks her love can fix his pain, make everything okay
But healing hearts aren't her job, though love wants her to stay
[Chorus]
Why do we try to heal what isn't ours to mend
The fixer's trap will steal your future in the end
You lose yourself while trying to save someone else
The question costs your dreams, your time, your mental health
[Verse 2]
Month by month she gives her all, her energy runs dry
Skips her goals, ignores her friends, her own dreams pass her by
Jake's depression stays the same, professional help he needs
But Sarah thinks her love's enough, planted fixing seeds
[Chorus]
Why do we try to heal what isn't ours to mend
The fixer's trap will steal your future in the end
You lose yourself while trying to save someone else
The question costs your dreams, your time, your mental health
[Bridge]
Love means supporting, not controlling their repair
Standing beside them, not carrying their despair
Your future matters too, don't let it slip away
Boundaries show you care in a healthy way
[Verse 3]
Two years later Sarah's lost, who was she before
All her plans are memories, dreams don't knock her door
Jake still struggles with his pain, she couldn't be his cure
Now they both need healing help, that's what love is for
[Chorus]
Why do we try to heal what isn't ours to mend
The fixer's trap will steal your future in the end
You lose yourself while trying to save someone else
The question costs your dreams, your time, your mental health
[Outro]
Love with boundaries, heal yourself first
Support don't fix, or your future's dispersed
The question shows us where the line should be
Your future matters in this you and me
