You Remain (version 2)

Verse 1

Cracked earth beneath these heavy boots

Skies weighed down on iron roots

I've been searching for a sign to lead the way

But every road just circles back to yesterday

Faces blur, the hours drift and strain

Still your presence cuts through every strain

I stumble, but I'm never left alone

Somehow, in this wreckage, you've always shown

Chorus

You remain

Even when the world fades, you remain

Through the haze and pouring rain

You remain, you remain

Post-Chorus

Stay here with me, oh-oh

Stay here with me, oh-oh

Verse 2

Silent and strong, a shadow never moves

Standing tall when everything shakes loose

Every question falls, answers out of frame

But in the silence, you remain

Pre-Chorus

When everything changes, you're still the same

Steady as thunder on a cold, gray day

Chorus

You remain

Even when the world fades, you remain

Through the haze and pouring rain

You remain, you remain

Post-Chorus

Stay here with me, oh-oh

Stay here with me, oh-oh

Verse 3

Broken lines and echoes in the wire

Carrying hope across a thinning fire

There’s a strength I borrow when I wear your name

Bruised and battered, but I’m not the same

Lost in the static, calling out your voice

Hold the real in a world of white noise

Treading water where the shadows grew long

You lift the weight, remind me I belong

Chorus

You remain

When the colors bleed away, you remain

In the storms I can’t explain

You remain, you remain

Post-Chorus

Stay here with me, oh-oh

Stay here with me, oh-oh

Outro

Underneath the scars, the traces never fade

I find your light where memory remains

All the slow collapse, every shattered frame

You stay in the quiet, unbroken, unnamed

Post-Chorus

Stay here with me, oh-oh

Stay here with me, oh-oh
