In Your Last Breath

[Intro] [Soft piano keys, a slow, somber start, Echoing the beats of a heavy heart.] [Verse 1] You stood like a lighthouse, stern and tall, A shadow over me, never letting me fall. Mistakes were your demons, hidden in plain sight, But in your silence, I learned to fight. [Pre-Chorus] You were the storm, often so cold, But in your tough love, a story told. [Chorus] In your last breath, you found the words, "I love you," the sweetest I’ve ever heard. Gone too soon, but your legacy stays, In my steps, in my life's new phase. [Verse 2] Cancer took you, piece by piece, In that battle, you found no peace. Yet in your struggle, in your pain, You taught me strength, through the strain. [Pre-Chorus] You weren’t perfect, often misled, But from your life, the lessons I’ve read. [Chorus] In your last breath, you found the words, "I love you," the sweetest I’ve ever heard. Gone too soon, but your legacy stays, In my steps, in my life's new phase. [Bridge] I’ll carry your dreams, and all your fears, The weight of your love, through the years. I’ll learn from where you stumbled and fell, In my life, your stories I’ll tell. Gone too soon, but your legacy stays, In my steps, in my life's new phase. [Bridge] I’ll carry your dreams, and all your fears, The weight of your love, through the years. I’ll learn from where you stumbled and fell, In my life, your stories I’ll tell. [Verse 3] Now I stand, where you once did, A father myself, no longer a kid. I promise to give what you could not find, A warmth, a love, of a different kind. [Chorus] In your last breath, you found the words, "I love you," the sweetest I’ve ever heard. Gone too soon, but your legacy stays, In my steps, in my life's new phase. [Outro] So here’s to you, my guiding light, Your love confessed in your final fight. Though you were cold, your end was true, In my life, Dad, I’ll honor you. [Chorus] In your last breath, you found the words, "I love you," the sweetest I’ve ever heard. Gone too soon, but your legacy stays, In my steps, in my life's new phase. [Outro] So here’s to you, my guiding light, Your love confessed in your final fight. Though you were cold, your end was true, In my life, Dad, I’ll honor you.
