[Verse 1]
You left so fast
Like a door slammed shut
No warning in the air
Just the world giving up
I still look for you
In the usual places
Then I remember
You’re gone from these faces
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep your name
Like a light in my hand
But some nights it shakes
And I barely can stand
[Chorus]
I’ll take care of your momma
I’ll take care of your sister
I’ll keep showing up
When the hard days blister
You left a hole
I can’t make whole
But I’ll love them hard
I’ll hold that door (hold that door)
[Verse 2]
Your mom still folds clothes
By the edge of the chair
Your sister goes quiet
Then stares at the stair
I bring what I can
I stay a little longer
I laugh when I’m able
But the ache just gets stronger
[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause every good thing
Feels a little untrue
Since the day that this life
Took me away from you
[Chorus]
I’ll take care of your momma
I’ll take care of your sister
I’ll keep showing up
When the hard days blister
You left a hole
I can’t make whole
But I’ll love them hard
I’ll hold that door (hold that door)
[Bridge]
If love could gather
What death took apart
I’d carry you back
Straight into her heart
But all I can do
Is stay and remain
Be hands when they’re tired
Be shelter in rain
[Chorus]
I’ll take care of your momma
I’ll take care of your sister
I’ll keep showing up
When the hard days blister
You left a hole
I can’t make whole
But I’ll love them hard
I’ll hold that door (hold that door)
[Outro]
So rest easy now
I’m here, I’m here
I’ll keep your love
Close year by year
