[main riff intro] [Verse 1] The world went quiet, then it screamed, And I felt the echo under my skin. You were fighting ghosts I couldn’t see, While I was praying the walls would cave in. I would’ve torn through every mile, To pull the dark off your name, But you stood up, shaking fire, Now I see the fire you became [Chorus 1] If I was there— I’d set it right. But you’re still here— You are the fight. [main riff] [Verse 2] Every silence feels like thunder Every thought a blade that turns. You wear your pain like armor While I just drown in the burn. You’re not a wound, you’re a warning, To everything cruel and small. And I’m learning what it means, To stand back and watch you stand tall. [Chorus 2] If I was there— I’d set it right. But you’re still here— You are the fight. [main riff] [Bridge] I saw the ashes turn to sky, You gave the pain a name and let it die. Now every scar on your skin sings loud— And I can only bow. [Final Chorus] If I was there, I’d burn it all, Scream your name through every wall. You don’t need me, never did— You’re the fight, I’m the fall. [Outro] If I was there— I’d set it right. But you’re still here— You are the fight. (last line held, guitar feedback fading out)
