You hold the frame, but I lived the pain I lit the fire, now you feed the flame So take what’s left of me and carry it on In every echo of truth when I’m gone My shadow, my scars, they whisper your way My story's not mine once I give it away My breath, my fall — they’re written in stone You walk in my steps, but you’re never alone I gave you the weight, I gave you the grace To rewrite the path while still seeing my face And when the world forgets my name Let your soul sing loud just the same Every mirror shows where I used to stay But now I live in the words that you say So take what’s left of me and carry it on In every heartbeat, every dawn My silence, my song, they still remain It’s all yours now — to reflect and sustain
