Your Voice in My Head

# YOUR VOICE IN MY HEAD **(Verse 1)** I hear your voice when the room gets quiet, When I'm losing my grip and I'm trying to fight it, Sometimes it's a memory, sometimes it's a feeling, Sometimes I swear you're right beside me when I'm barely breathing. I hear the way you'd laugh when I'd say some dumb shit, Hear the way you'd tell me when I was full of it, And somehow all the words that I ignored back then Are the same damn words that keep me standing now instead. When I'm ready to quit, I hear you saying, "Keep going," When I'm drowning in the dark, I hear you saying, "Keep growing," When I start thinking nobody gives a fuck about me, I remember you existed, and what that means to me. You don't have to be here physically to leave something behind, Some people disappear but never really leave your life, And every lesson, every laugh, every argument we had Still lives somewhere inside the person that I am. **(Hook)** I hear your voice in my head, When I'm lost, when I'm scared, When the weight gets too heavy And I don't think I can bear it. I hear your voice in my head, Like you're standing right there, Telling me to keep moving, Telling me you're still here. And I know you're gone, But you're not really gone, 'Cause I carry your voice Everywhere that I walk. **(Verse 2)** Sometimes I talk to you when I'm driving alone, Tell you all about the life that you never got to know, Tell you about the people, tell you about my dreams, Tell you how much everything changed since you left me. I wonder what you'd say if you could see me right now, Would you laugh at my mistakes or tell me you're proud? Would you tell me slow down? Would you tell me stay focused? Would you tell me don't let pain turn my heart into stone? I still make decisions thinking, "What would you do?" Still catch myself looking for advice from you, And even though there's nobody sitting in the passenger seat, I swear sometimes I feel you riding right next to me. That's why I don't believe that love disappears, It changes its shape when somebody's no longer here, You went from being beside me to living in my mind, From somebody I could call to somebody I carry through time. **(Hook)** I hear your voice in my head, When I'm lost, when I'm scared, When the weight gets too heavy And I don't think I can bear it. I hear your voice in my head, Like you're standing right there, Telling me to keep moving, Telling me you're still here. And I know you're gone, But you're not really gone, 'Cause I carry your voice Everywhere that I walk. **(Bridge)** When the nights get long, When the tears won't stop, When I feel like I'm standing At the edge of it all, I remember your voice, And I remember your face, And somehow your memory Still gives me the strength to stay. You don't have to answer, You don't have to appear, I'll keep listening anyway, 'Cause I know you're somewhere near. **(Final Hook)** I hear your voice in my head, And I'll carry it forever, Through the worst of my days, Through the best of my weather. When I finally make it To everything I dreamed, I'll look up at the sky And know what you would think. I hear your voice in my head, And I swear I hear you say, "Don't waste the life you still have, Make it count every day." So I'll keep moving forward, Even when it hurts, 'Cause carrying your memory Is the closest thing to bringing you with me.
