Lyric

You sat by the window

Light on your tired hands

Laughing at how I rush

Like I had endless plans

I rolled my eyes and mumbled

Thought we had one more day

Left a thousand words unspoken

Then you slipped away

Now every step I take

Feels like walking in your name

Every quiet good I do

Carries just a trace of your face

I should've said thank you

Till the walls began to shake

Now it echoes in my chest

Thank you came too late

You taught me how to listen

How to stand and stay

Pointed me toward kindness

When I turned away

I see your little habits

In all the things I choose

The way I hold a stranger's gaze

Is the way I learned from you

Now every step I take

Feels like walking in your name

Every quiet good I do

Carries just a trace of your face

I should've said thank you

Till the walls began to shake

Now it echoes in my chest

Thank you came too late

I am your tired jokes and patience

Your rough hands, your steady heart (Oh)

I'm every gentle word you gave me

I'm the part of you that stayed, not the part that had to part

So when they say I'm kind or brave

I hear your voice inside of mine

Your life didn't end that morning

It folded into mine

Now every step I take

Feels like walking in your name

Every quiet good I do

Carries just a trace of your face

I whisper out thank you

Till my whole body shakes

Through the way I live and love

Your life still finds a way

So every step I take

I will walk it in your name

Every quiet good I do

Is a fragile, living frame

Of every soft thank you

That I never got to say

You're the pulse inside my veins

You didn't fade away
