Light Through the Cracks

Light Through the Cracks

There was a time
I couldn't breathe
Without your name
Inside of me
The days were long
The nights were worse
I held your ghost
Like it was a curse

But time's a wave that wears the stone
And somehow I've grown

There's a light through the cracks
Breaking gently through the black
Though I still feel the weight
I've found a softer way
You're a song in the breeze
You're not gone  just at ease
And I carry you
Like light through the cracks in me

I talk to you
But not out loud
I see your face
In every crowd
The ache remains
But not like then 
Now it's a thread
That weaves again

And I still cry but now I know
That love can let go

There's a light through the cracks
Breaking gently through the black
Though I still feel the weight
I've found a softer way
You're a song in the breeze
You're not gone  just at ease
And I carry you
Like light through the cracks in me

I thought the loss would bury me
But now it's how I finally see
You gave me more than just goodbye 
You gave me wings and I still fly

There's a light through the cracks
Every shadow fades to that
Though the pain taught me how
I'm still here I'm still now
You're a whisper a flame
In the quiet you remain
And I carry you
Like light through the cracks in me

Like light through the cracks
You're still part of me
