Song inspired by 'Still Here In Our Hearts' and its upcoming sequel. I remember starting to write it with an instrumental but I only finished it a couple of days ago and I can't remember the original melody, so imagine it in your head as a melody that makes sense.
Everytime a rainbow comes, I see your smiling face.
One that's filled with so much love, but one that fell from grace.
We never knew who you could've been until the world fell apart
But everytime my chest pulsates, I know you're here in my heart.
Hearing you babble that you love me though the words are incoherent
Triggers a little thing in my mind that sees you as more than a spirit.
Suddenly, I open my eyes as the pavement gets covered in rain
And I feel that familiar weight of the guilt that's been choking me since that day.
Oh, everything hurts because I am the reason you were never given the chance
To live for a day, to frolic and play, to hold our big, strong hands.
Oh, nothing that I could ever do will pay back these eternal debts
But I hope you accept my apology and understand my regrets.
Everytime the fire burns, I douse it with a drop.
One that's consumed by alcohol, but one that makes pain stop.
I still don't know how to let you go even after all this time
But whenever a 'lub-dub' sounds I realise moving on's a crime.
Listening to your heavenly song though the melody is slightly off-key
Ignites a tiny spark in my mind that sits you right here with me.
Suddenly, I open my eyes and you seem to have taken flight
And I feel the familiar sting of shame that's plagued me since that night.
Oh, everything hurts because I am the reason you were never given the chance
To live for a day, to frolic and play, to hold our big, strong hands.
Oh, nothing that I could everd do will pay back these eternal debts
But I hope you accept my apology and understand my regrets.
When your papa returned from work one day, he just hugged me and cried
Because he was speaking to a family whose little light had died.
I didn't know he kept in such sorrow until it flowed in cascading tears
And every shake of his shoulders showed the grief hidden through the years.
His heartbreak screamed relentlessly, the scars having never healed
Opening old wounds and making him bleed with hurt he concealed.
Suddenly, I opened my eyes as his wails began to silence
But I just continued to cuddle him while I whispered nonsensical guidance.
Soothingly, I breathed in slow and felt the air as my chest expanded
And I followed the rhythm you played for us and accepted the cards we were handed.
Oh, everything hurts because for some cruel reason you were never given the chance
To live for a day, to frolic and play due to fate having other plans.
Oh, nothing that I could ever do will change the way the world's been set
But I just hope you love me even though I don't have a single regret.
Oh, I hope you love me in spite of the fact that I don't have a single regret.
