[Verse 1] I know I’ll never see you again Suitcase closed on a half-spoken word Your shadow slipped out the hallway door But your laughter still rings in this room [Chorus] I will carry you forever Even as the seasons change my name Every sunrise Every weather You’re the steady glow inside the rain I will carry you forever Though your footsteps fade along the way You’re the quiet in my chaos You’re the reason I can face the day [Verse 2] I walk the streets we used to get lost in Order coffee for one Still say two Every stranger’s face flickers for a second Like the world asking “What if it was you?” [Chorus] I will carry you forever Even as the seasons change my name Every sunrise Every weather You’re the steady glow inside the rain I will carry you forever Though your footsteps fade along the way You’re the quiet in my chaos You’re the reason I can face the day [Bridge] Maybe life is just a long goodbye But you taught me how to love it anyway You’re the echo in my honest smile You’re the courage when I choose to stay (stay) [Final Chorus] I will carry you forever Through the breaking and the mending years Every heartbeat writes your letter On the pages washed in all these tears I will carry you forever Till my story’s only whispered air And when I finally let go of this world I will thank you for the love we shared (oh) [Outro] I know I’ll never see you again But I swear you’re never really gone You’re the soft light on my tomorrow You’re the love that lets me carry on
