The words

Lyrics

We heard the news on a Tuesday And we circled up that night We know the days are heavy, we know the nights are long We've seen you in that waiting room trying to look strong You don't have to be the brave one every hour on the clock We brought the bad jokes and the casseroles — we're not gonna stop When the fight gets ugly That's when we get loud We're still in your corner — every round, every bell When you can't throw a punch, we'll stand and yell This isn't your fight only, friend, it never was We're still in your corner, 'cause that's what this love does There's a calendar of crossed-off days taped up on your wall We're counting right beside you, every X, we see them all Coffee in the parking lot, the beep of those machines You squeeze my hand, I squeeze right back — you know what that means On the days you've got nothing Lean the whole way on us We're still in your corner — every round, every bell When you can't throw a punch, we'll stand and yell This isn't your fight only, friend, it never was We're still in your corner, 'cause that's what this love does And when this thing is over — and friend, it will be done We'll be the loudest table at the bar, telling how you won We're still in your corner — every round, every bell When you can't throw a punch, we'll stand and yell This isn't your fight only, friend, it never was We're still in your corner, 'cause that's what this love does Not going anywhere Not now, not ever

Behind the song

The story

There's no dressing this up. The treatments are brutal, the news comes in waves, and some days just getting out of bed is the whole battle. But there's a calendar on the wall with the hard days crossed off in bright marker, and a circle of people counting every X alongside. They bring the bad jokes and the casseroles, drink coffee in the parking lot, and squeeze a hand back through the beeping. For the friend in the hard middle of it who shouldn't have to be brave every hour — from the people who aren't going anywhere, not now, not ever.
