the way you carry me |
LyricsThe way Carry Me Yves Stilmant © 2025[[Verse 1] I came back with a different face Smiles don't land in the same place I don't talk much about the sand But it still lives beneath my hands Crowds feel loud, and nights are long The war came back, though I came home I tuck my pain behind my eyes And wear a laugh that's not quite mine [Pre-Chorus] But she still sees me through the haze And whispers, "You don't have to be okay..." [Chorus] Home is where you hold me Where the silence starts to break Where broken hearts keep beating Even when they ache You loved me through the fallout You found the man beneath I don't know what I'd be without The way you carry me [Verse 2] The kids don't ask where I've been They just pull me in to play pretend And in their world, I start to heal They teach me how to feel what's real My daughter colors stars and skies Says, "Daddy, you're my brave good guy" And for a second, I believe That maybe I'm still more than what I've seen [Pre-Chorus] And she still holds me when I shake And tells me, "You are worth the weight" [Chorus] Home is where you hold me When I don't know who I am You remind me I'm still worthy With just the touch of your hand You loved me through the fallout You found the soul in me I don't need to stand alone now 'Cause you still carry me [Bridge] (Soft, rising into hope) Not every war is overseas Some battles live inside of me But every time I start to fall You reach right through and catch it all [Chorus - Final, Lifting with Hope] Home is where you hold me Where the tears are safe to fall Where I'm not just what broke me I'm the man you still call You loved me through the silence You gave me back my name Now every breath I take again Feels like coming home... [Outro - Gentle, fading] Feels like coming home... Because you carried me |
