You Never Left Songtext
von Georgia Phantom

I still talk to you in the quiet
When the room feels too loud with everything but your voice
They say time heals
But I′m still standing in the moment you left

I laugh less, I feel more
But I keep moving (ooh)
Not because I'm okay (ooh-ooh)
But because you would want me to (ooh-ooh)

They don′t see the memories I replay at night
The empty chair, the photos, the flicker of light
You were more than blood, more than friend or name
You were part of my breath, now I'm breathin' with pain

I′ve been tryna make sense of the space you filled
Tryna smile through the hurt that don′t ever heal
But grief ain't weakness, it′s love that stayed
So I carry your fire in a different way


You never left, you just changed form (changed form)
Now you ride with me when the nights get warm
Now you stand with me when I feel that weight
Now your strength is the reason I show up brave

I hear your voice in the small things
In the wind, in the silence
In that one song that hits too hard on a Tuesday
I thought I'd forget
But instead, I became a version of you mixed with a stronger me
That′s legacy

That's love that don′t die
You were light
You were fight
You were flawed, but real

And I loved you for every piece of it
So I live now, with more purpose
With more breath
With more you in me than ever before

You never left, you just changed form (changed form)
Now you ride with me when the nights get warm
Now you stand with me when I feel that weight
Now your strength is the reason I show up brave


I used to beg for one more call
One more laugh, one more walk through the fall
But I don't beg now, I build
I speak your name through the dreams I fulfill
I carry your story in how I speak
I lift your spirit every time I weep
'Cause healing ain′t straight, it′s a road of dance
But every tear I shed turns a page that mends

To anyone hurtin', you′re not alone
Their body is gone, but their love still grown
You ain't gotta let go to move ahead
You just hold on, different heart over head

You never left, you live in me
You never left, you set me free
You never left, when I break, you rise
You never left, you the truth in my eyes

You never left
You just became everything I needed to remember how to live
Uh
Uh
