For bothof us.

Verse 1 Your side of the room is a silence now I still turn to speak, then I remember how The world kept moving when you slipped away But mine still stops at the end of every day There’s a picture of us beside his bed He asks me to tell him the things you said So I give him your stories, your fearless smile Then close the door and fall apart awhile Pre-Chorus I don’t know how to live without you But he still needs me standing here Chorus So I’ll be strong for both of us When he wakes afraid and reaches up I’ll tell him how you laughed and loved How his heart was made from both of us I may break when he cannot see But I won’t let the darkness take your place in me I’ll carry your love through everything I do I’ll be strong for him And strong for you Verse 2 He has your eyes when he looks at me And your stubborn way of refusing defeat Sometimes he laughs, and for half a breath It feels like you never really left I’m learning the things that you always knew How to calm his fears, how to tie his shoes I’m getting it wrong, but I’m staying the course Trying to give him the love of us both Pre-Chorus I never thought I’d walk this road alone But I’ll make sure he always knows Chorus That I’ll be strong for both of us When he wakes afraid and reaches up I’ll tell him how you laughed and loved How his heart was made from both of us I may break when he cannot see But I won’t let the darkness take your place in me I’ll carry your love through everything I do I’ll be strong for him And strong for you Bridge Some nights I’m angry Some nights I pray Some nights I would give my whole life For one more yesterday But he needs tomorrow And you would want him free So I’ll teach him how to face the world The way you taught me Final Chorus I’ll be strong for both of us Even when the weight becomes too much I’ll tell him he was always loved That he was everything you dreamed of And when he grows into the man You always knew that one day he would be He’ll carry your fire everywhere he goes And he’ll know He’ll always know I was strong for him Because of you Outro He has your eyes He has your smile And when I see you there in him I can breathe again awhile
