[Verse 1]
Used to wait on the bench at Union Station
You were clownin', shoes untied, no patience
Backpack saggin', talkin' bout your big dreams
I just laughed like, "Boy, you my whole team"
Now I walk past, all I see is your shadow
Snack stand, same dude, same lotto
Same tracks hum, same rusty rail
But I’m talkin' to the air, and the air stay still
I got pictures in my phone that I can't scroll
Every swipe feels like tearin' down my soul
Two names carved in the back of my mind
Two empty chairs at the table every time
[Chorus]
Heart so heavy, it don't beat right (beat right)
Talk to the sky like, "Bring back my light" (come on)
I lost my sons, now I'm losin' my way
I don't know how to move, so I stay
In this pain, in this station, in my head
Every step feel tied to the dead
If there’s a road out, I ain't found one yet
All I carry is love and regret
[Verse 2]
People say, "It gets better with time"
But time just stretch out the line
Of days I wake up, reach for a ghost
Set two plates, only eat one toast
Anger in my veins like it's runnin' the show
Snap for nothin', then I hate myself more
Try prayin', but the words turn to coughs
Try sleepin', but the dreams shake me off
I remember you laughin' at my old slang
Now it’s quiet, just my thoughts that bang
Two birthdays circled on the fridge, still there
I can't cross 'em out, I just stand and stare
[Chorus]
Heart so heavy, it don't beat right (beat right)
Talk to the sky like, "Bring back my light"
I lost my sons, now I'm losin' my way
I don't know how to move, so I stay
In this pain, in this station, in my head
Every step feel tied to the dead
If there’s a road out, I ain't found one yet
All I carry is love and regret
[Bridge]
If I move on, do I leave you behind?
If I stand still, do I lose my mind?
Every breath feel borrowed from your last one
Every sunrise look missin' two suns
So I whisper your names like a prayer, like a chant
"Watch me, guide me," even if you can't
And if I ever smile, just know it's for you
'Cause the only way forward is carryin' your truth
[Chorus]
Heart so heavy, it don't beat right (beat right)
Talk to the sky like, "Bring back my light" (bring you back)
I lost my sons, but I’m holdin' their names
In every tear, every step through the pain
From this pain, from this station, from my head
I'll build a road from the words we said
If there’s a way out, I'll find it for you
Every beat of my heart still belongs to you (yeah)
