You Were Here

[Verse 1]
You met me where the hallway narrowed,
with rain still ticking from your sleeves.
We traded stories, missed the last train,
and laughed at what we couldn't leave.

[Pre-Chorus]
Some doors close softly, some just do;
I keep the part that changed in me.

[Chorus]
You were here, and that was real,
a hand in mine, a room to breathe.
Though every road won't run forever,
you left a little more of me.
I carry joy from where we stood,
not as a chain, but something good.

[Verse 2]
We learned the names of passing places,
found the joke beneath the strain.
You showed me how to speak up clearly;
I helped you walk back through the rain.

[Pre-Chorus]
No promise makes a moment small;
its worth survives the final call.

[Chorus]
You were here, and that was real,
a hand in mine, a room to breathe.
Though every road won't run forever,
you left a little more of me.
I carry joy from where we stood,
not as a chain, but something good.

[Bridge]
If we become a story told
in different voices, far apart,
I'll thank the hour we both were brave,
and how you made a wider heart.

[Final Chorus]
You were here, and that was real,
a hand in mine, a room to breathe.
Though every road won't run forever,
you left a little more of me.
I carry joy from where we stood;
you changed my life for good.

[Outro]
You were here.
That was real.
