Felt Your Hand

I thought you'd leave When the lights went dim. When the words got heavy and Hope felt thin. But you lingered, Sat by the door. Said, "I'm not leaving, not this time, Not anymore." So I let my guard down, Let the tears fall free. Felt your hand steady holding me. Uh. You didn't have to stay, But you did anyway. Turning my dark Into a brighter day. You didn't have to stay, Yet you chose to remain. In your presence, I learned to stand again. Oh yeah. I remember the silence, The weight of my shame. How you spoke softly, Called me by name. Now the morning comes And the sky's less gray. Because you stayed And you didn't walk away. Kindness isn't owed, It's a gift we give. A hand that holds you When you can't forgive. Oh yeah. You didn't have to stay. Didn't have to stay. But you did anyway. You did anyway. Turning my dark. Into. Into. To a brighter day. Oh yeah. Yeah. You didn't have to stay. Didn't have to stay. Yet you chose to remain. You chose to remain, yeah. In your presence. Presence. I learned to stand again. Oh yeah.
