Lyrics
[Verse 1]
April eleventh, the calendar turns
Five years gone, but the old ache burns
Your picture rests by the kitchen door
I still reach for the sister I’m missing more
[Pre-Chorus]
Some mornings I wake up reaching for your name
Then the quiet tells me nothing is the same
[Chorus]
I can’t see you, but I carry you
In every little thing I choose to do
The empty chair still speaks somehow
But I’m standing stronger than I knew how
I miss your laugh, I miss your light
I hold you close through every night
Five years later, love remains
Growing through the hurt, through the tears, through the change
[Verse 2]
I kept your note inside a drawer
The one you wrote beside the grocery list before
Your handwriting leans like it’s running ahead
A small hello from the life we had
[Pre-Chorus]
I talk to you when the house gets still
Tell you all the ways I’m learning to live
[Chorus]
I can’t see you, but I carry you
In every little thing I choose to do
The empty chair still speaks somehow
But I’m standing stronger than I knew how
I miss your laugh, I miss your light
I hold you close through every night
Five years later, love remains
Growing through the hurt, through the tears, through the change
[Bridge]
I used to think being strong meant letting go
Now I know it means taking you wherever I go
When the world feels heavy and the day runs long
I hear the way you’d tell me to keep moving on
[Final Chorus]
I can’t see you, but I carry you
In every little thing I choose to do
The empty chair still speaks somehow
And I’m standing stronger than I knew how
I miss your laugh, I miss your light
I hold you close through every night
Five years later, love remains
Growing through the hurt, through the tears, through the change
[Outro]
April eleventh, I say your name
My little sister, forever the same
