The Voice That Stayed

Описание: R.I.P Brad Arnold

Verse 1
You never knew my name
But you knew my years
I grew up in the space
Between your words and fear
I played you through the worst nights
Just to feel less alone
Funny how a stranger
Can feel like coming home
Pre-Chorus
I thought you’d always be there
Waiting in the sound
Didn’t think the silence
Would hit this loud
Chorus
You were the voice that stayed
When nothing else would
You said the things I couldn’t
When I didn’t know how to
I don’t know who I am
Without that place to go
Guess some parts of growing up
Mean letting voices go
Verse 2
I don’t need the myth
I don’t need the crown
I just needed something real
When life pressed down
You carried more than music
You carried time
Whole chapters of my life
Locked in every line
Bridge
I didn’t know you
But you knew me well
You taught me how to feel
Before I learned to tell
So if this is goodbye
I won’t pretend I’m strong
I’ll just say thank you
For every song
Final Chorus
You were the voice that stayed
Now you’re the echo I keep
Still playing in my head
When the nights get deep
I won’t put you on a pedestal
Or act like you were above
You were just human
And somehow that was enough
Outro
I’ll keep the sound low
But I won’t let it fade
