[Verse 1] I still hear you in the hallway Coffee cup on the old nightstand Every quiet Sunday morning I can almost feel your hand You’d say “Breathe You’re doing fine” When I stumble Lose my way In my head I hear you laughing Like you never went away [Chorus] You’d say “I love you” like my mom “You’re enough Just as you are” “You’re stronger than you know My child Every crack still shows your heart” You’d say “I’m proud of you” like my dad “Look how far already Man” So I’ll keep walking through this world Like I’m holding your words in my hands [Verse 2] Some nights I’m talking to the ceiling Telling secrets to the dark I repeat the things you told me Till they start to sound like mine “You get back up You hear me? You were built to bend Not break” I can almost hear you joking “Take a breath for heaven’s sake” (hey) [Chorus] You’d say “I love you” like my mom “When you’re tired You can lean” “You don’t have to fill the silence Just to prove that you believe” You’d say “I’m proud of you” like my dad “Even when you think I’m not” So I’ll keep walking through this world Holding tight to every word I’ve got [Bridge] We can be a voice for the broken For the ones who had to leave For the names stitched in our memories For the stories they can’t speak I’ll stand up when I’m shaking I’ll speak out when I’m scared ‘Cause you’d say “Go on I’m with you Every time you choose to care” [Chorus] You’d say “I love you” like my mom “I’m right here Just close your eyes” “You can cry and still be brave Love Both can live inside your life” You’d say “I’m proud of you Man” Like my dad in the driveway light So I’ll keep walking through this world With your echo holding me upright [Outro] Yeah I’ll keep walking through this world Till your words become my own voice inside “I’m proud of you Man”
