i felt the love in your heart, i saw the truth in your eyes
i'll hear the sound of your voice, it makes me feel so alive
when it got so hard to see you always showed me the light
i know i'll take on the world, as long as you're by my side
>i was a blank canvas, you were the paint
>i was afraid, but every day you kept me safe
>if i needed a change or if i needed some space
>you allowed me to fail so i can learn from mistakes
>sorry for the times that I talked back
>even though I caught slack you put me on the right track in fact
>you were the strong one holding us together
>and you are the one that's gonna live on forever
>i want you to know that you make me proud
>and everything i learned you had taught me how
>when i cried, yes you did/you got me through it
>they tried to shoot but you took the bullets
>looking back at it I was never lacking
>even if that mean that you couldn't have it
>you were the strong one holding us together
>and you are the one that's gonna live on forever
> we didnt have money but were rich in affection
> never picture perfect but I felt your protection
> from every single lesson to every time I stressed and
> looking out for me was always your intention
> looking back at it you were always by my side
> the one I could confide if I ever need advice
>you were the strong one holding us together
>and you are the one that's gonna live on forever
> I want you to know when I look into a crowd
> i see you looking back I see you looking proud
> and I hear you through applause cuz your cheers were loud
> if I try to float away you will keep me on the ground
> thank you for every single one of the memories
> it was all a foundation for better days
>you were the strong one holding us together
>and you are the one that's gonna live on forever
