Grow from Grow by Rose Alaimo
Grow describes the sadness of watching someone you love hold themself back from happiness. During the first year with my current partner we were going through some stuff. One particularly hard night while he was getting some work done I grabbed his acoustic guitar, went into his room, and wrote this whole song out. We are four years in now and going strong, so at least that story has a happy ending. :)

Lyrics
It's no win, you never let me in
I've waited patiently outside your door
It's in your head, the voices are saying it
If you choose to listen, you choose to fall
Grow
The photographs we never took of us
Showing our happiness or whatever you felt
I've been trying to reach your gentle heart
And all I get are sighs, and "I don't knows."
Your walls are slowly, slowly weighing you down
Get out before they bury you in the ground
Grow
I'm in your bed, lonely and sick of it
You're off chasing things that bring you down
Come out of your head and put down your narrative
You can choose to listen or fight for your own fate
Your walls are slowly, slowly dragging you down
Take that voice and bury it in the ground
And then grow
Think about how it would feel to let go
What if life was good and then we said so?
You can believe in love and it might be ok.
Remember all the times that we would laugh, though?
I know it hurts, speaking with your head low.
Let's make life everything we ever wanted.
Grow
