Sunstrand Heights

Lyrics

I thought you forgotten me
You told me I’d be fine
Thought it was because you gave me a spine
Not that you had spoken to them
And told them to take care
Of the one thing no one could compare
So I went on not thinking twice
Just hurting because you were so right
We both stayed up all night
Then there was that one where I didn't fight
I remember when I acted tough
Stood toe to toe and never gave up
Still you always held my hand
You were the one thing that stayed
Through the storms and the shade
When the world pulled away
You never let me fade
Even when I closed the door
You waited on the porch
With your silence and your grace
You were the one thing that stayed
Showed what it was like to be loved by a great man
Wish I could repeat each day
Not let others get in our way
I know I’d still stay out
But this time it would be because of the crowds
I wore my anger like armor
Didn’t know it made you prouder
Of the fighter you raised
Of the heart you saved
You were the one thing that stayed
Through the storms and the shade
When the world pulled away
You never let me fade
Even when I broke the frame
You hung the picture anyway
And I see now, through the pain
You were the one thing that stayed
(Mmm hmm hmm...)
(You were the one... you were the one...)
You were the one thing that stayed
Now I see your face in my own hands
In how I pause, in how I stand
I carry you in ways I never knew
In every promise I hold true
(Mmm hmm hmm...)
(You were the one... you were the one...)
And even when you're far away
You are the one thing that stayed
Yeah, you are the one thing... that stayed
(Mmm hmm hmm...)
(You were the one... you were the one...)
And even when you're far away
You are the one thing that stayed
Yeah, you are the one thing... that stayed
