Verse 1
I want the best for you
Because I still care
But wanting you and holding you
Are different prayers
The burdens and the joys
Aren’t ours to share
Even though I still care

I reach my hand out in the air
You won’t reach back for it
That’s alright, I swear
I want the best for you
Even if I’m not there

Chorus
I’m growing where I stand
From the love we had to spare
Trying to grow myself
To honor what was there
The burdens and the joys
Aren’t ours to share
But I still want the best for you
Even if I’m not there

Verse 2
I keep your laugh in mind
Like a worn-out sweater, yeah
Comfort in the thread
Even if we’re not together
Some days I reach for you
Then stop mid-air
That’s how I remember
I can’t be there

Chorus
I’m growing where I stand
From the love we had to spare
Trying to grow myself
To honor what was there
The burdens and the joys
Aren’t ours to share
Even though I still care

Bridge
Maybe healing means
Letting go
But not erase
Keeping you in stories
Not in empty space, oh

Final Chorus
I’m growing where I stand
From the love we had to spare
Trying to grow myself
To honor what was there
The burdens and the joys
Aren’t ours to share
But I still want the best for you
Even if I’m not there

Outro
