Claire (The Light You Leave Behind)

(Verse 1)

Golden light on your skin,

The day fades but you still begin.

You wear your silence like a crown,

Lost in thought, but never down.

Every shadow tries to reach,

But your calm’s beyond their reach.

(Pre-Chorus)

There’s a story in your stare,

Something fragile, something rare.

(Chorus)

Oh, Claire, you don’t even know,

You’re the calm in the afterglow.

Every breath, every tear,

Feels like music when you’re near.

Oh, Claire, the world stands still,

When you whisper what you feel.

You’re the light they’ll never find —

The light you leave behind.

(Verse 2)

There’s a softness in your pain,

Like the quiet after rain.

You hold your heart with gentle hands,

Still you shine, they’ll never understand.

Every dream you never spoke,

Still burns like rising smoke.

(Pre-Chorus)

There’s a storm behind your eyes,

But you wear it in disguise.

(Chorus)

Oh, Claire, you don’t even know,

You’re the calm in the afterglow.

Every breath, every tear,

Feels like music when you’re near.

Oh, Claire, the world stands still,

When you whisper what you feel.

You’re the light they’ll never find —

The light you leave behind.

(Bridge)

Maybe you were made for quiet rooms,

Where sunlight blooms,

Where time slows down and hearts resume.

Maybe you were born to heal,

To show the world what real love feels.

(Final Chorus)

Oh, Claire, you don’t even know,

You’re the calm in the afterglow.

Every breath, every tear,

Feels like heaven when you’re here.

Oh, Claire, your soul’s refined —

The light you leave behind.
