歌詞

I used to laugh at movie endings

At hearts that broke from one goodbye

Thought love belonged to people

With more time than mine

Then you went and left your silence

In every window, every street

Now even all the things I prayed for

Feel like less than what I need

I wore my armor like a habit

Till your hands undid the steel

Now the world can call me stronger

But it doesn't know what weakness feels

So I'll carry your light

For the rest of my life

Even if these hands

Couldn't keep you by my side

If another dawn should find us

I'll still know your heart by name

In this life I let you go

But your love in me remains

I may walk this road without you

But I love because you came

I'll carry your light

I'll carry your light

I built a future out of deadlines

Out of rooms with polished names

Every victory went quiet

When it didn't hear your name

Sometimes I still reach in the dark

For the shape of where you slept

And I hate how being older

Doesn't mean you hurt less

There are nights I almost call you

Just to hear you breathe again

But loving you has taught me

Some hearts stay true by learning how to bend

So I'll carry your light

Through the coldest nights

When forever changed its mind

And the stars forgot to shine

If another life has mercy

I will meet you in that time

In this life I let you go

But I never left your fire

I may walk this road without you

Still your love will be my guide

I'll carry your light

I'll carry your light

I got everything I asked the sky for

Lost the only prayer I meant

Funny how the world says, “You made it”

When you're living with what left

But if pain can turn to blessing

If goodbye can still be grace

Then the love we couldn't keep

Will be the thing that keeps me

I'll carry your light

For the rest of my life

When the city goes cold

You're the fire inside

If another dawn should find us

I will know you in a crowd

And until that day comes

I'll make this love proud

I may walk this road without you

But your love still leads the way

I'll carry your light

Till my last breath fades

I'll carry your light

And call it love, not yesterday

Call it love, not yesterday

I'll carry your light
