Song: You’re Storm I Still Carry
Lyrics: You’re Storm I Still Carry
[Intro - Acoustic Guitar]
[Verse 1]
You’re Storm I Still Carry,
To an old soul’s twin flame—
carrying this heartache,
a hopeless romantic cry for her again.
This storm is never over,
like Jupiter’s Great Red Spot.
This is my song to her—
But it only echoes
in the void.
[Verse 2]
Desert breeze, don’t you pass me by,
I got a heart full of thunder, under Phoenix sky.
Your wit cracked open the sky,
like desert lightning
striking a heart already scorched.
You showed up again—
out of nowhere,
out of shadows,
like you always do.
[Pre-Chorus]
And it hits me
Every time like the first—
Your name in the wind,
My chest about to burst.
I brace for the storm,
But it’s already here...
[Chorus]
You’re the storm I still carry
No matter how far I run
You’re the sound in the silence
You’re the fire without the sun
I try to forget, but I wear the flame
This love was a wildfire
And I kept your name
[Verse 3]
And just like that,
I’m back at the altar,
sucker-punched by the memory
of you laughing,
your Phoenix-accented voice
melting me into dust
in this blistered air.
I loved you like rain
loves the desert—
desperate,
thirsty,
my blazing breeze,
willing to vanish
just to touch you once.
[Bridge]
You weren’t ready,
never ready.
You ran
because no one ever showed you
what it felt like
to be loved right.
And I stood there,
burning,
watching you disappear
into your own storm.
[Chorus]
You’re the storm I still carry
No matter how far I run
You’re the sound in the silence
You’re the fire without the sun
I try to forget, but I wear the flame
This love was a wildfire
And I kept your name
[Outro]
I still hear you
When I close my eyes
Like thunder rolling
Through Phoenix skies
You're gone again
But never gone
The storm remains
And I carry it on
