Living For You

[Verse 1]
I still replay that night
missed calls on my phone, I was “busy,” right
you were cracking those jokes, said you’re “fine, I’m straight”
we all laughed it off, now it feels too late
could’ve sat you down
asked, “you sure?” one more round
but I brushed it aside
now I carry your life with mine
[Chorus]
I’m living your life, I’m living it twice
for the ones that we lost in the blind of the night
we didn’t see the signs, now I keep my eyes wide
ask “you good?” one more time, let the silence reply
and I know you’re still here, that smile on our face
you’re the light in the dark, you’re the hand at my waist
thank you for the pain that taught us what is true
you made us see this life is beautiful, for you
[Verse 2]
I talk to your mom when I swing by home
help your brother with his homework, won’t let him feel alone
I wear that old hoodie that you left in June
swear I feel you in the room when I lace my shoes
check in on the quiet ones
’cause I know how the quiet runs
hugs a little longer, listen when they shrug
I don’t call it “drama” when they say they’re stuck
[Chorus]
I’m living your life, I’m living it twice
for the ones that we lost in the blind of the night
we didn’t see the signs, now I keep my eyes wide
ask “you good?” one more time, let the silence reply
and I know you’re still here, that smile on our face
you’re the light in the dark, you’re the hand at my waist
thank you for the pain that taught us what is true
you made us see this life is beautiful, for you
[Bridge]
Some days I’m angry, some days I break
yell at your picture, “why’d you go that way?”
then I feel you in the wind say “breathe, don’t rush
tell them that they matter, that’s enough”
so I’ll be that friend I wish I was back then
open door, open heart, “come in”
[Chorus]
I’m living your life, I’m living it twice
for the ones that we lost in the blind of the night
we didn’t see the signs, now I keep my eyes wide
ask “you good?” one more time, let the silence reply
and I know you’re still here, that smile on our face
you’re the light in the dark, you’re the hand on my bruise
thank you for the way you taught us what is true
you made us see this life is beautiful, for you

rap, Sparse, moody piano over deep, head-nod drums; intimate male vocals in a confessional pocket. Verses stay close and conversational, with subtle melodic lifts on key phrases. Chorus opens wider with layered harmonies and a warm bass swell, shifting from grief to gratitude. Final hook adds soft strings and airy pads, letting the last lines hang in reverb for a reflective fade., beautiful
