Nurture My Soul

Verse 1

I used to chase the thunder, dress my doubts in velvet noise,

Wear a crown of brittle glitter, feed a hunger built from poise.

They loved my flashing armor, never asked about the weight,

Lit matches to my paper courage, called it fate.

Pre-Chorus

Then you found the door behind the door,

Listened to the quiet I’d ignored.

Chorus

You don’t feed my ego, you feed my soul,

Water the roots, don’t paint the petals gold.

In the hush between our words, I come home,

You are my true love, the kind that grows.

Verse 2

When I’m cracked you bring me sunlight, soup, and unassuming grace,

Count the breaths, not all the trophies, kiss the shadows on my face.

You trace the weather of my storms, then stand the way the mountains do,

Hold the name I only whisper like it’s true.

Pre-Chorus

No pedestal, no parade in borrowed light,

Just your steady hand across the night.

Chorus

You don’t feed my ego, you feed my soul,

Teach me to stay when I want control.

In the simple, sacred things, I’m whole,

You are my true love, the kind that grows.

Bridge

In a world of mirrors, you’re my window,

In a world of static, you’re my slow radio.

You unlearn the knots I’ve called my name,

Keep the fire low, a faithful flame.

Breakdown

Let the applause fall like leaves at our feet,

We’ll sweep the porch and keep our hearts complete.

Chorus

You don’t feed my ego, you feed my soul,

Plant a little patience, watch it unfold.

In the quiet garden of our own,

You are my true love, the kind that grows.

Outro

Stay with me where small and holy live,

Where love is not a stage, but what we give.
