I will not pretend to understand why love had to break this way. I only know — it never left. (Verse 1) You came into this life like a flame, eyes wide open, heart uncontained. Even as a child, you carried storms, a spirit too vast for the shape of form. You never bowed, you never obeyed, you questioned every rule they made. Defiant, brilliant — too alive to hide, the world was never big enough inside. (Pre-Chorus) You burned to feel, to know, to be — to test the edge of love and me. And I — I broke a thousand ways, trying to love you through the blaze. (Chorus) But you are still the light that stayed, even when the night betrayed. You are fire that pain could not consume, you are thunder wrapped in bloom. Faith Hope — twenty-four suns around your soul, and still, my heart remembers whole. (Verse 2) You have wandered through the ache of years, traded laughter for armor, love for fear. But oh, my girl — even when you run, I see the truth behind what you’ve become. The rage, the brilliance, the hunger to know, the child who burned just to feel her own glow. And though the world tried to cage your name, you were always sacred — even in your pain. (Bridge – spoken softly, almost breaking) You have carried too much, my love. Weights no soul should bear alone. You have been torn, betrayed, unseen — but still… you breathe. Still, you rise. Still, the ember of you refuses to die. You are not lost. You are not broken. You are the pulse of something ancient, remembering itself through you. (Final Chorus) You are still the light that stayed, through every silence, every blade. You are the proof that love survives in every wound that’s still alive. Faith Hope — twenty-four candles in the wind, but my love for you will never end. Outro You are Faith. You are Hope. You are the light that stayed.
