I Will Remain
Walber Costa
The silence crawls across the floor
Like ghosts still breathing through the door
Your shadow sleeps beside my skin
But all the light is wearing thin
I hear your name inside the rain
A bittersweet and hollow pain
We built a world that couldn't last
Now I'm just drowning in the past
And every promise turned to dust
But leaving you was never enough
So I will remain
Inside the fire, inside the ache
Even if my heart still breaks
I will remain
Through every scar
Through every night that pulls apart
You're the poison in my heart
Still I remain
These empty halls still speak your truth
Like dying prayers beneath the Moon
I tried to run from what we were
But your memory still burns
You were the wound I couldn't heal
The only thing that still felt real
Now every breath becomes your ghost
The one I hate, the one I hold
If love was meant to disappear
Why are you still everywhere?
So I will remain
Inside the fire, inside the ache
Even if my heart still breaks
I will remain
Through every scar
Through every night that pulls apart
You're the poison in my heart
Still I remain
Stay with me
When the darkness calls my name
I can hear the angels crying
While heaven slowly fades away
If this is our ending
Why can't I let you go?
I will remain
Inside the silence and the flame
Nothing here will be the same
Still I remain
And when the stars collapse tonight
I'll find you in the afterlife
You're the last breath holding tight
Still I remain
Remain
Remain
I will remain
