[Intro — choir hum, distant organ]
Choir (soft):
Mm… mm… mm…
Love don’t die…
Verse 1 (Rap)
I still got your number saved, I can’t delete the thread
Last text you sent me says “I’m home” — you never made the bed
World kept spinning like it didn’t hear what God just said
How a heartbeat disappear and leave a voice instead?
Your shoes still parked by the door like you late for work
I swear grief got hands, I can feel it search
Through my ribs every night, digging up the dirt
Tryna find where you went, but the silence worse
Everybody say “time heals,” that’s a lie they sell
Time just teaches you how to live inside a cell
I talk to you in my car like you ride with me
And the seat still warm like you never left the street
I ain’t crying, I’m leaking
I ain’t praying, I’m pleading
Heaven greedy — it took what I was needing
Hook — Choir + Rap
Choir (big):
They’re not gone… they’re not gone…
Love carries on… carries on…
Rap (over choir):
If you hear me where the light don’t fade
Send a sign through the cracks I made
Tell me death ain’t the end of the page
Tell me love stronger than the grave
Choir:
Stronger than the grave…
Verse 2 (Rap)
I wear your hoodie like armor when the night get loud
Every memory heavy but I like the sound
Pain proof that you lived, I don’t put it down
I let it sit in my chest like a crown
People move on quick, I ain’t built that way
Every laugh feel illegal like I’m cheating your name
I still set your plate when I cook some days
Then I stare at the chair like it’s finna explain
Tell me how a soul leave fingerprints on time
How your voice still echo in the back of my mind
How I look at the sky and it look like a crime
That it blue when you ain’t in the design
I ain’t mad at God — I’m confused at best
Tryna breathe with a hole in the middle of my chest
If heaven got you safe, I’ll survive the test
But survival don’t feel like a blessing yet
Hook — Choir explodes
Choir:
Hold on… hold on…
You will see them again…
Hold on… hold on…
Love don’t end…
Rap:
I’m holding, I’m trying
But the night too long
Every second without you
Feel violently wrong
Choir:
They’re resting… they’re free…
No more suffering…
Bridge — beat drops, organ swell
Rap (spoken):
If you can hear me…
wait for me.
Don’t let heaven close the door
before I reach.
Final Choir Lift
Choir (huge, layered):
Love is stronger…
Love is stronger…
Love is stronger than the grave…
Rap over top:
If love stronger than death
Then you ain’t far away
You just ahead of my steps
In another place
Save me a seat in the light
I’m on the way
Still talking to heaven
Every day
Outro — choir fade
They’re not gone…
Love carries on…
