[Verse 1]
I left your coffee by the window
The way you liked it, black and warm
Your jacket hangs beside the doorway
Like you might reach for it by dawn
I still turn back to tell you something
Then feel the silence fill the hall
But every room remembers kindness
And every tear still knows your call
[Pre-Chorus]
If the night gets heavy on your shoulders
If you forget how strong you are
Look for the promise in the quiet
I’m never really very far
[Chorus]
If I die, just know I’ll always be with you
In the small brave things you choose to do
When your hands are shaking, when the road feels long
I’ll be the reason you keep moving on
If I die, don’t let goodbye become the truth
Every part of me is still alive in you
[Verse 2]
There’s a photograph behind the bookshelf
Two crooked smiles beneath the sun
We looked so sure the world would hold us
We didn’t know what time could take from us
So take the train we used to dream of
Call the friend you keep putting off
Wear that red coat in the winter
Let your heart be reckless enough
[Pre-Chorus]
And if the morning finds you empty
With no clear answer in your hands
Follow the warmth beneath the sorrow
I’ll meet you there, just as I am
[Chorus]
If I die, just know I’ll always be with you
In the small brave things you choose to do
When your hands are shaking, when the road feels long
I’ll be the reason you keep moving on
If I die, don’t let goodbye become the truth
Every part of me is still alive in you
[Bridge]
I’m not the cold beneath the stone
I’m not the name you say alone
I’m in the laughter you let return
In every lesson the years have burned
And when you finally learn to fly
Don’t look behind you asking why
Take all the love we couldn’t spend
And give it to the world again
[Final Chorus]
If I die, just know I’ll always be with you
In the open sky, in the things you do
When your hands are steady, when you sing along
You’ll feel me in the place where you belong
If I die, let goodbye release the truth
Nothing we loved is ever lost from you
I’ll be the quiet courage pulling you through
If I die, just know I’ll always be with you
[Outro]
Always with you
In all you become
Always with you
Until your road is done
