Lyrics written by me. Voice over is AI as well as instrumental.
After losing a close family member who is the sole reason I'm even breathing today. You will be missed
[Intro]
Memories come flooding back with everything you've done
It's always been hard to show my emotions, always on the run
I always walk in circles, no destination as I roam
Another person said it better in a different song
That your not truly gone, You just have a new place to call home
I always saw you as a guardian, a man who saved my life
And even though — I've lost my sight — of what is right
To let go — all this blight — I'm lost in the night
[Chorus]
Guardian — you saved me from the waves,
Twice I should’ve been gone, twice you wouldn’t let me fade.
Even when you weren’t there, I felt you in the air,
Like eyes on my back saying, “Kid, I still care.”
Guardian, I’m walking ’cause of you,
This life that I’m living is the thank-you I can’t do.
[Verse 1, fast rap]
I wish I could have taken more time to come and see you,
But tangled in my head, I was afraid that I would bleed through.
Every regret, every fault comes crashing down like waves above,
Though I never said it, you’re one I always thought of.
When the water filled my lungs, you were there to pull me back,
Fighting off the tide while I was slipping through the cracks.
I was drowning in my thoughts, you were standing like a wall,
You believed that I could stand when I didn’t believe at all.
But the voices in my mind kept telling me to stay away,
Didn’t want you seeing all the damage that I drag each day.
So I let the distance grow like an ocean in between,
Now I’m screaming at the shoreline for the time we’ve never seen.
If I could trade my heartbeat for a minute in your light,
I’d just tell you “thank you” once and hold onto you tight.
Now I’m talking to the sky, hoping somehow you can hear,
Every lyric is a lifeline throwing “I love you” through the years.
[Chorus]
Guardian — you saved me from the waves,
Twice I should’ve been gone, twice you wouldn’t let me fade.
Even when you weren’t there, I felt you in the air,
Like eyes on my back saying, “Kid, I still care.”
Guardian, I’m walking ’cause of you,
This life that I’m living is the thank-you I can’t do.
[Verse 2]
Memories come flooding back with everything you've done
It's always been hard to show my emotions, always on the run
And when we would go camping when we were younger,
I learned how to survive, tried to become stronger,
Though these days I feel I'm disappointing you as I feel smaller,
I've been giving in, no longer resisting all the horrors,
That reside — deep — within — my mind,
You taught me how to fight, now I’m losing to my own design,
I keep breaking under pressure, but I laugh it off as “fine,”
Acting like I’m fearless while I’m running from the signs.
You showed me how to start a fire, how to brave the rain,
Now I’m drenched in all these shadows and this unresolved pain.
If you could see me now, would you say you’re still proud?
Or would you shake your head, seeing how I’m shutting the world out?
I know that you’d tell me, “Kid, you’re stronger than you feel,”
That the cracks inside my armor don’t make me less real.
So I’m holding to your lessons as I stumble through the dark,
Trying to be the man you saw when you first guarded my heart.
[Chorus]
Guardian — you saved me from the waves,
Twice I should’ve been gone, twice you wouldn’t let me fade.
Even when you weren’t there, I felt you in the air,
Like eyes on my back saying, “Kid, I still care.”
Guardian, I’m walking ’cause of you,
This life that I’m living is the thank-you I can’t do.
[Bridge]
You were a family man with that Carhartt on your back,
Fishing on the weekends, letting all the seconds pass.
Christmas at the table, you were laughing at my jokes,
Every year a new jacket like a shield around my soul.
Scrabble on the table, grandma smiling at your play,
Baseball on the TV while the daylight slipped away.
Now the silence in that living room is louder than the crowd,
Two empty chairs echo like a stadium without a sound.
Same month, same week, candles burning on my cake,
Heaven took you both so close it felt like some cruel mistake.
Got me staring down the calendar like it’s loaded with a hex,
Thinking I’m the common thread in everybody’s exit.
But if I’m such a curse, why’d you pull me from the deep?
Twice you chose to fight the tide so I’d have days like these to keep.
Curses don’t wear Carhartt, don’t teach kids how to survive,
Don’t sit through scrappy innings just to see their nephew thrive.
[Outro]
So I’ll light these candles, but I’ll say your name instead,
Cast a line into the water, let the ripples hold what’s left.
If there’s bleachers up in heaven, I know right where you’ll be,
Sitting next to her and watching while you both still guard on me.
Guardian — you’re with me in the waves,
In every missed call, every memory that stays.
I’m not a curse, I’m the life you chose to save,
And I’ll carry both your love in every breath that fades.
