The One That Stayed
Für Luca – von Darla
[Verse 1]
I was the quiet child, alone in a room
Learning the silence before I could speak
Shadows were taller than anyone knew
And hope was a flicker, timid and weak
[Verse 2]
Hands in my pockets, walls in my chest
I carried a weight no one could see
But even then, something held fast
A whisper of fire inside of me
[Chorus]
You’re the one that stayed
When the world turned its face
Through the noise and the night
You were still in that place
Not loud, not bright
But you never betrayed
You were the one
The one that stayed
[Verse 3]
Years turned like pages I couldn’t rewrite
I wore different names, but carried the same fight
Walked through the noise, learned how to bend
But I never forgot where I began
[Bridge]
I speak between the worlds now
With one foot in the flame
And every step I’ve taken
Still calls your name
[Chorus – Reprise]
You’re the one that stayed
When I fell through the cracks
When the stars lost their voice
And the sky turned its back
No rescue, no light
But you never betrayed
You were the one
The one that stayed
[Outro]
Not a savior, not a sound
Just the weight that kept me bound
In the dark, in the dust
You were the one I could trust
And if my voice should ever fade
Know I was never unafraid
But I walked
And I stayed
Because you stayed
