Because of You | An Original Song

Описание: Dedicated to the inner child who has held on through hell, lost everything, and still got back up. Stay honest, kid. You'll get there.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All you ever wanted
Was to be held and understood.
Everything you stood on,
You stood on 'cause you should.
You held on to your integrity
When no one held to you—
And I am only standing here
Because you made it through.

[Chorus]
You gave me this one thing
That nobody could take,
A spine of quiet fire
You carried for my sake.
Through every cracked compromise
I almost learned to choose,
Your steady voice still calls me back—
"Always hold to truth."

[Verse 2]
You said no when it cost you friends,
Kept promises nobody would check,
Wore your principles like armor
When the world said “just protect
Your image, and your youth—”
But you refused to flex.
You planted roots in solid ground
So I’d still know what’s next.

[Chorus]
You gave me this one thing
That nobody could break,
A spine of quiet fire
You carried for my sake.
Through every shadowed bargain
I almost learned to lose,
Your steady voice still pulls me back—
"Always hold to truth."

[Bridge] #independentartist #originalsong #song #indiemusic #americanprotest #bobdylan #brucespringsteen
Sometimes I forget
the weight you bore,
The nights you cried
alone and swore
You would never sell
The only part that's true.
I swear I'll listen to the end
And I will not abandon you.

[Outro]
So I’ll keep moving forward,
I will still be true—
And when at last we find our home,
It will be because of you.
It will be because of you.
