The After Still Holds Us

Verse 1

I see you in the quiet of the morning light

In the way the world still turns out right

In the laughter you almost didn’t let come through

In the life that’s still holding you

There are days you carry me like a stone

And nights you feel so alone

But love like ours never fades away

It just learns a different way to stay

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to hold the sky in place

You don’t have to freeze inside this space

Chorus

I’m still right here in the air you breathe

In every step where your heart finds peace

In every smile you almost hide

I’m there, right there, by your side

What we had was never meant to end

It just changed where it lives within

And every time you choose to live again

It reaches me, it lets me in

Verse 2

I don’t measure love by what you keep

Or by the promises you think you need

Love like ours was never small

It was always meant to outgrow it all

So if your heart finds light somewhere

If someone sees you and they care

That doesn’t take a thing from me

It’s part of what I hoped you’d be

Pre-Chorus

You were never meant to stand still in pain

You were always meant to feel the sun again

Chorus

I’m still right here in the air you breathe

In every step where your heart finds peace

In every moment you let joy begin

I feel it all, I’m there within

What we had was never tied to time

It was deeper than a single life

And every time you choose to shine

It feels like yours and still like mine

Bridge

There’s no distance love can’t cross

No life too big, no path too lost

You don’t leave me when you move ahead

You carry me in the life you live

And one day, when the road is through

I’ll be right there waiting for you

But until then, don’t you see

Living fully keeps you close to me

Final Chorus

I’m still right here in the air you breathe

In every step where your heart feels free

In every laugh that finds its way

I’m smiling more than words can say

What we are will always remain

Beyond the loss, beyond the pain

And every time you live and love again

You bring a piece of heaven in

Outro

So live your life without the fear

Love was never meant to disappear

It just grew into something more

Still yours… like it was before.
