The Warmth I Still Carry

A lyric written during the holidays, when grief and memories felt close.

Intro
The feeling of that childhood home I miss
Soft, cozy lights all around
That gentle warmth i still remember
While i’m going through so much now

Pre Chorus
It’s gone now
But the pain of those memories remains

Chorus
Caught between longing for joy
And the sorrow that’s here to stay
Falling to the ground
Still rising up again

Balancing between my pokerface and the truth
And the truth….
Always the truth

Verse 2
I try, like my mother used to
To light the tree
And bring warmth to my kids

But inside I’m so cold
Missing so much
Feeling sad and empty

Chorus
Caught between longing for joy
And the sorrow that’s here to stay
Falling to the ground
Still rising up again

Balancing between my pokerface and the truth
And the truth….
Always the truth

Bridge
Will i ever learn to sing again
Without this tightness in my throat?
Will the struggle with this longing ever ease?

Maybe someday
I’ll find the warmth I once felt as a child
Inside myself

Final Chorus (zachter)
Caught between longing for joy
And the sorrow that’s here to stay
Still standing
Even when I sway

Balancing between my pokerface and the truth
And the truth….
Always the truth

Outro (Instrumentaal/stilte)

Some warmth never disappears – it only learns to live inside you.
