[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Snow light on the stairwell rail Boots by the door and a winter coat You were quiet in the ways that last Love didn’t need a louder note Mama, you moved like the house had ears Soft hands, straight lines, measured grace You taught me how to hold my ground Without needing to raise my voice [Verse 2] Dad, you had rhythm in everything In the kitchen, in the car, in the hall Like even silence had a pulse When your laughter hit the walls You showed me how to feel the room How to carry joy through heavy days How to put a little fire in pain And still let the body sway [Chorus] What you put in me Still runs true When I lose my way at night I come back through you What you put in me Still holds strong Your love lives under every step Even when I get it wrong [Instrumental transition] [Verse 3] Now I see what I couldn’t then How much you carried without a sound One kept the line from breaking down One kept the light from going out Montreal nights and a mixed-up sky Two worlds meeting inside our home I spent years trying to name myself Not knowing I was never alone [Chorus] What you put in me Still runs true When I lose my way at night I come back through you What you put in me Still holds strong Your love lives under every step Even when I get it wrong [Instrumental transition] [Bridge] I wear your patience I wear your song One gave me stillness One made me strong And all this time I thought I built myself Now I know the best in me Came from somewhere else [Final Chorus] What you put in me Still runs true When I lose my way at night I come back through you What you put in me Still holds strong Your love lives under every step Even when I get it wrong [Outro] I come back through you I come back through you
