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 some 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 those bullets
Looking back at it, I was never lacking
Even if it meant that you couldn't have it
But you were the strong one holding us together
And you are the one that's gonna live on forever

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

We didn't 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
Thinking back at it you were always by my side
The one I could confide if I ever need advice
Cause 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
I hear you through the applause cause your cheers were loud
If I tried to float away, you would 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

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
