[Verse 1]
And after she's gone
And you're fragile like porcelain
I've been writing this song
To help you breathe again
If you could reach to the heavens
Would you touch the veil she wore?
Don't make words into weapons
I know that she loved you more
[Pre-Chorus]
There's life after death
And there's breath when you're gone
And you'll slide from the shadows
'Cause you were strong all along
[Chorus]
She's watching from heaven
She's always beside you
She's watching from heaven
She's always beside you
[Verse 2]
Feel the love from your brother
Like when you both lived in her
Fear not for your mother
'Cause she lives in you
Let's run
Let's run where you want and find another way
Let's burn
Let's burn all the dark and find words we wanna say
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'll slide from the shadows
'Cause you were strong all along
[Chorus]
She's watching from heaven
She's always beside you
She's watching from heaven
She's always beside you
She's watching from heaven
She's always beside you
[Outro]
This life's in colour
You've soul like your mother
She's there in your heart
These tears they won't last
This life's in colour
You've heart like no other
She grows in you, in you, in you
In you
In you
In you
In you
