Shadows We Carry

Intro

The darkest loss is the death inside,

While our hearts beat, and we try to survive.

Verse 1

Death cuts deep, leaves the living torn,

But in your life, new strength is born.

They didn’t leave to chain your soul,

Not a life sentence, it’s time to be whole.

Pre-Chorus

When does grief become an endless need?

When does healing feel like betrayal’s seed?

Chorus

You are not your pain, nor your scars,

Turn your grief into guiding stars.

Fear of letting go holds you tight,

But healing is courage, stepping into the light.

Verse 2

The greatest loss, what dies within,

While we live on, though shaken, thin.

Their death isn’t a stop sign or a cage,

It’s a call to write a new page.

Pre-Chorus

When does sorrow become our chain?

When does addiction fuel the pain?

Chorus

You are not your trauma or suffering,

Turn your pain into purpose, keep rising.

They’d want you to live beyond the fight,

To find your peace within the night.

Verse 3

Healing feels like a bitter goodbye,

But it’s love’s true gift under sorrow’s sky.

We fear who we’d be if we let go—

But in release, new life will grow.

Bridge

From ashes of loss, our hearts ignite,

Breaking free into the night.

They didn’t die so you’d stop breathing,

Your life’s the flame, forever leading.

Outro

Healing is not betrayal’s crime,

It’s honoring love through space and time.

You’re more than grief, more than the pain,

In your heart, their love remains.
