--- [Verse 1] You always reached for someone’s pain No name, no face — you'd still remain Beside their cries, so calm, so near Your hands would catch each falling tear And I, with nothing but my pace Kept running just to see your face It burned so bright, it hurt to see But still I ran — you pulled on me --- [Pre-Chorus 1] By the time I knew to speak Your hands had turned so cold, so weak But I could never say to you “Rest now, your part is through” --- [Chorus 1] Still I’m running though I’m breaking For the world that’s always aching Just to see your smile again That alone was worth the pain --- [Verse 2] The evening breeze would touch your skin Your shadow thin, the light grew dim You lost your voice, but not your gaze It held its fire through the haze I told you soft, “They still need you” You nodded once, your eyes so true And in that look, I understood You still believed the world was good --- [Pre-Chorus 2] That single smile you let me see Felt like you’d forgiven me And once again I chose to stay And run with you another day --- [Chorus 2] I knew the truth — I wore you thin But felt your warmth beneath my skin To hold your hand, to feel your light Made all the shadows feel so right --- [Last Chorus] I ran for you, through night and flame And gave it all without a name Your final smile — still burning bright Surrounds me now in softest light --- [Bridge] That day, your voice had slipped away My hands were still, with none to say But then you turned and smiled at me And in that moment, I could see That everything was finally whole A quiet flood inside my soul --- [Outro] When all was done, and silence fell And time had cast its gentle spell A tender light began to rise And held us both beneath the skies
