I Remain

I wore black for days, then weeks,
Your voice still echoes when I sleep.
The world moved on, but I stood still,
In the silence, time can kill.

[Pre-Chorus]
I held on to shadows, called them you,
Lit candles just to feel the truth.

[Chorus]
But you’re not in the ground, you’re in the air I breathe,
In every song, in every falling leaf.
I cried, I broke, I learned to bend,
And I made peace with the bitter end.
You’re gone, but I’m not done—
I rise with the setting sun.

[Verse 2]
The mirror showed a ghost of me,
Eyes too tired to dream or see.
But grief, it taught me how to fight,
How to lose and still choose light.

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t pretend it doesn’t sting,
But even pain can grow new wings.

[Chorus]
You’re not in the dark, you’re in the fire I feel,
In every scar that time can’t heal.
I fell, I screamed, I learned to stand,
With trembling heart and open hands.
You’re gone, but I remain—
Dancing through the quiet rain.

[Bridge]
And if I ever lose my way,
I’ll follow stars you used to name.
You’re not forgotten, you’re not lost—
You live inside what love has cost.

[Final Chorus]
No, you’re not in the grave, you’re in the breath I take,
In every risk, in every brave mistake.
I wept, I burned, I learned to live,
And now I’ve found what you still give.
You’re gone, but I am strong—
I carry you in every song.

[Outro]
Ashes in the wind…
But I’m breathing in again
