[Verse 1] It stole your grace, the comfort in your hands, The voice that healed, the peace you gave. The shadow moved closer, the end ever nearer, Dreams that you carried fell quiet with time. [Pre-Chorus] The shadow inside you, the fight you faced, No prayer could reach through. [Chorus 1] I curse the shadow that hollowed you out, I curse the weight we all bore. I curse myself for the anger and doubt, Now your fire is out, the shadow had its way. [Verse 2] I resented the hours, the endless demands, Pieces of myself, slipping through my hands. But worse than the anger, worse than the strain, Is living with a guilt that still knows your name. [Pre-Chorus] The shadow inside you, the fight you faced, No mercy came through. [Chorus 2] I curse the shadow that hollowed you out, I curse the weight we all bore. I curse myself for the anger and doubt, Now your fire is out, the shadow had its way. [Bridge] The weight of love became a chain, It dragged me down into anger and blame. I’m chained to the fire, I’m chained to the lie, That love should have saved you — but it watched you die. [Final Chorus] I curse the shadow that hollowed you out, I curse the weight we all bore. I curse the day that you decided to walk away, Now your fire is out, the shadow had its way. [Outro] I breathe your name… ( I breathe your name ) And I carry you still. ( And I carry you still )
