1. The Things I Carry

V5.5

[Verse 1] There’s a voice inside my chest Still echoing your words “Just hold on to your heart” That’s all I ever heard Through the nights I lost my way Through the days I couldn’t stand That simple little phrase Still held me where I am [Pre-Chorus] Every step, every fall Led me somewhere I belong [Chorus] These are the things I carry The weight and the light in me All of the love you gave Still lives inside of me Even when I break down Even when I feel lost One simple truth remains I just need my heart [Verse 2] I built a life, I built a home Held someone in my arms But deep inside I felt A deeper kind of spark Something calling from within Something I can’t explain Like a compass in my soul Pulling me through the pain [Bridge] Maybe I was never lost Maybe I was on my way Every tear I cried alone Was guiding me to this place [Final Chorus] These are the things I carry Every scar, every dream Now I finally see What it all could mean I’m still walking forward Even in the dark ‘Cause all I really need Is just my heart
