I wrote goodbye on a paper tonight, With trembling hands and a fading light, I almost believed there was no more fight, And the world would be fine without me in sight. But then I saw your picture on the wall, You smiling at me, so small, so small, And I heard your voice, a whispering call, Saying, "Please don't leave, don't leave at all." So I tore the letter, I chose to stay, Though my heart is broken in every way, If my leaving would make your smile decay, Then I'll carry this pain for one more day. I fell to my knees and I cried alone, To a silent sky, to a heart of stone, But your love reached me, it pulled me home, And I knew I was never truly alone. Now the morning comes with a softer hue, The sky is still grey, but it's breaking through, I breathe again, I think of you, And the reason I live feels almost true. So I will rise from the darkest place, With tears still falling down my face, I'll live for your smile, your warm embrace, 'Cause your love gave me the strength to face. I'm still here, I'm still alive, For you, I learned how to survive, Through every storm, I'll still arrive, With you, my heart will finally thrive.
