I remember how I entered With so much I couldn't say Trying to make sense of shadows I'd been carrying for years You stood beside me in the darkness Helped me find my way through You listened when the words got stuck Helped me see things new Maybe you won't remember Every word you said to me Some things find a place to stay Grow where no one sees You'll never know how much you gave me Or the nights you helped me through How you stayed when words were missing And made the dark feel safe When the door closes behind me I'll remember what you helped me see You may never know how much you mattered Or how much you changed in me You'll never really know How far your kindness goes There were days when nothing shifted When the road refused to bend When I thought I'd come in circles Be standing here again Somewhere in the ordinary The world began to look less small I found a little more of myself Learned I could survive it all Maybe change is hard to notice When you're watching day by day I can feel a little difference In the way I face today You'll never know how much you gave me Or the nights you helped me through How you stayed when words were missing And made the dark feel safe When the door closes behind me I'll remember what you helped me see You may never know how much you mattered Or how much you changed in me You'll never really know How far your kindness goes I wish this didn't have to end yet There's still a part that wants to stay I'm grateful for the road we've travelled Sad to turn the page I don't leave with every answer I don't leave without the pain I can face the road before me Knowing I'm not quite the same You'll never know how much you gave me How your kindness carried through The things you thought were little Helped me find my way back When the door closes behind me There'll be windows opening wide There's a world beyond this chapter New paths for me to find You may never know how much you mattered Or the places your kindness goes I'll carry what you gave me Into everything that's new Whatever grows tomorrow Will hold something of you Thank you.
