TITLE: LOVE STAYED [VERSE 1] Your name still glows inside my phone A little light when I am alone Sometimes my heart forgets the truth And reaches through the dark for you Morning finds me missing air Turning toward what is not there But even when the silence aches Something of your love remains [CHORUS] Love stayed When everything else changed It found a home beneath my scars And kept a light inside my heart I do not have to say goodbye To choose another day of life You are gone, but love stayed Love stayed [VERSE 2] You met the storm behind my eyes The angry words, the sleepless nights You saw the fear beneath the flame And never made my pain my name You showed me I was worth the fight Worth the patience, worth the time Now every step I take alone Carries something you made known [TALKING RAP BUILD] I was not easy to reach. I had learned to question kindness, to prepare for goodbye before love had time to stay. But you stayed. You saw the fear beneath my anger and the woman beneath the fear. You held the truth until I could hold it too: I was worthy then. I am worthy now. And death cannot erase what love already wrote inside my heart. [FINAL CHORUS] Love stayed When everything else changed It found a home beneath my scars And kept a light inside my heart I do not have to leave you there To keep on breathing different air You are gone, but love stayed Love stayed [OUTRO] I will live I will love I will carry what you gave You are gone But love stayed
