You packed your bags, I watched you go
With dreams and pain you didn’t show
The silence grew, the nights felt long
But I kept holding on
You said you needed air to breathe
To find the part you couldn’t see
And I stood back, I let you fly
While I stayed here, just asking why
But love don’t fade when you disappear
It whispers soft, “I’m still right here”
No matter how far you roam
You’re still my heart, you’re still my home
I won’t chase you down the road
But I’ll leave the porch light on
For when you’re ready to come back
To where you’ve always belonged
I see you trying, getting strong
And even though it’s taking long
You’re learning how to heal your past
I just pray this peace will last
They don’t see the man I know
The heart that’s hurt but still can grow
I won’t pretend it doesn’t ache
But I believe in every step you take
'Cause love don’t fade when you disappear
It whispers soft, “I’m still right here”
No matter how far you roam
You’re still my heart, you’re still my home
I won’t chase you down the road
But I’ll leave the porch light on
For when you’re ready to come back
To where you’ve always belonged
And maybe one day you’ll look back
See the strength in everything we lacked
But somehow we still held on
Even when the light felt gone
So take your time and find your way
I’ll love you through the in-between
And when you’re ready, I’ll be there
Just like I’ve always been
