The Hurt That Stays

I watch the morning break alone. Another day without your touch. The house still holds your quiet smile, Though you've been gone so long. I try to sweep the memories away, But they settle like the dust. Some hearts can learn to start again. Mine still remembers us. Time can soften broken dreams, But some pain never Leaves. You're the hurt that stays Long after love is gone. Like a shadow in the fading light, Holding on until the dawn. Every tear still knows your name. Every heartbeat feels the same. No matter how I pray, You're the hurt that stays. The rain still falls outside my door, Like it understands my soul. Every lonely melody reminds me of what I lost. I smile through a thousand days pretending I've Moved on. But every night I close my eyes, I find you in my arms. If heaven lets love find its way, I'll meet you where the angels sing. Until that blessed day arrives, I'll carry Everything. You're the hurt that stays, The scar that time can't heal. The sweetest love I've ever known still feels so Close, so real. Though the years keep passing by, This heart still asks you why. Until my last breath fades away, You'll be the hurt that stays. Some wounds become a memory. The deepest ones become your Song.
