[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Everyone says time will heal, Like the heart forgets its scars. But some wounds become companions, Quiet as the evening stars. I still set a place in memory, For someone I can't see. And every tear reminds me Of who you were to me. [Pre-Chorus] If love could leave without a trace, Would it ever have been love? [Chorus] So I'll hold on to the pain, Not because I want to break. But because it speaks your name In every breath I take. Grief is love with nowhere left to go, Still searching through the rain. If loving you still hurts this much... I'll hold on to the pain. [Instrumental Break] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Some days it whispers softly, Some days it fills the room. A song, a scent, a photograph Can make the flowers bloom. I don't want to lose the sorrow If it means losing you. It's the thread that keeps your memory Woven through me too. [Bridge] We're not made of joy alone. We're not made of tears alone. Every heart that's truly loved Carries both as one. Pain is not my enemy; It's proof that you were here. [Final Chorus] I'll hold on to the pain, Until it changes into grace. Not as a chain that holds me down, But as the mark love leaves. I'll carry you in kindness, In every life I touch. If grief is part of being human... Then loving is enough. [Outro] The ache may never leave me. Perhaps it doesn't have to. Because some pain Is another name for love. [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Instrumental]
