(Verse 1 ) These four walls have heard the prayers That never crossed our lips The weight we carry in the silence When the world outside forgets I watch the numbers on the screen Like some impossible war You’re fighting shadows no one sees But I’ve seen them all before (Pre-Chorus) And the quiet screams at midnight Are the loudest sounds I’ve known We’re holding onto moments Like they’re all we’ve ever owned (Chorus) This is how we say forever When forever’s not enough This is how we burn the darkness With the memory of your touch We’re all just stories in the end But some stories never die You taught us how to stand You taught us how to fight (Verse 2) I wear your strength like borrowed armor When my own is wearing thin You laughed at death like an old friend That you’d never let win The photographs are timestamps Of a life that won’t be lost Every scar became a roadmap Of the battles that you fought (Pre-Chorus) And the quiet screams at midnight Echo through these hollow bones We’re carrying your fire So you’re never fighting alone (Chorus) This is how we say forever When forever’s not enough This is how we burn the darkness With the memory of your touch We’re all just stories in the end But some stories never die You taught us how to stand You taught us how to fight (Bridge) So here’s to the last stand The final breath that sings Here’s to the ones who taught us What it means to be human beings In the space between the heartbeats Where the spirit learns to fly You showed us there’s no goodbye Only “see you on the other side” (Chorus Final) This is how we say forever When the words won’t come out right This is how we find the morning In the middle of the night We’re all just stories in the end But your story’s in our veins We’ll carry every chapter Through the joy and through the pain (Outro) This is how we say forever The quiet screams are silent now This is how we say forever But the echo never fades This is how we say forever We are what you made us This is how we say forever We are the light you gave
