I ain't floatin' on clouds or walkin' through life.

Just here in the shadows, watchin your fight.

I never believed in heaven above, but if there's a way back, it's through our love.

You were my calm in the middle of war

The only peace I ever asked for

 Now I see your pain and how you cope

 Baby, I'm here every time you lose hope

 You ain't never gotta wonder where I've gone

 I never left, I've been here all along

 You were the light I couldn't repay,

Now I walk beside you every day.

 Mmm, mmm, oh, yeah

 I seen you with them boys, they ain't got a clue

 Tryna wear shoes they could never fill

You still look for me in every face

 But no one can fill that sacred space

 I hate to see you cry, that broke me more

 If I could come back, I'd pick you up from the floor

 Still I whisper love when the world turns cold

 Still your soldier even if I ain't in gold

 I hear you talkin' to me late at night I'm the breeze in your window, the flicker of

 light

They took my body, but not my vow

 I said I'd protect you, and I'm still doin' it now

 Remember that night I held your face,

 Told you this world don't deserve your grace

 You tamed the beast, they all fear to me

But you saw the man deep within

 I wish I could hold you through every tear

 Show you the peace, I found what you near

 No grave can cage what we had

You still wear my love, when times get bad

 Tell our story, don't let it fade You gave my soul a happy place

 I see your babies, I stand guard close, I'm the laugh and the joy to strengthen you

 I hated the pain you had to endure. If I could come back, I'd love you more

 No heaven, no choir, just me and the truth

 I'm still that man who believes in you

 You ain't gotta pray to reach my name

Just close your eyes, I'll do the same

 When you break, I'll be beside you

You still wear my love like a tattoo

 So live even when it hurts to breathe

Love hard even if they leave

 I didn't believe in wings or skies But I believe in you, and that never dies

 I'm still here, never left your side
