[Verse 1] Your name on my tongue still stings, still shines I trace old scars like they’re battle lines You walked ahead through the smoke and flame I’m standing here but I’ve changed my name [Pre-Chorus] Every time I fall I see your back running toward a dawn I couldn’t catch If I’m breathing now, it’s ’cause you bled for every word I never said [Chorus] I carry you in my scarlet resolve burning in the cracks you left behind If this is all that I can protect I’ll throw my heart against the tide Even if my voice shakes, I’ll still call ’cause losing you taught me how to fight Your memory is not a chain at all it’s the fire in my stride [Verse 2] Your old red coat still hangs by the door I wear it out when the rain pours Each drop that falls sounds like your laugh soft, then gone but it pulls me back [Pre-Chorus] Every promise that I thought had died blooms again when I remember why You believed in me when I was ash now I’m rising from the past [Chorus] I carry you in my scarlet resolve burning in the cracks you left behind If this is all that I can protect I’ll throw my heart against the tide Even if my voice shakes, I’ll still call ’cause losing you taught me how to fight Your memory is not a chain at all it’s the fire in my stride [Bridge] If the world turns black I’ll be the glow you gave me back (yeah) If my legs give out I’ll crawl the road we dreamed about I am not alone when I feel you in my bones Every step I take echoes with your name [Chorus] I carry you in my scarlet resolve burning in the cracks you left behind If this is all that I can protect I’ll throw my heart against the tide Even if my voice shakes, I’ll still call ’cause losing you taught me how to fight You’re not here, but you still stand so tall in the fire in my stride [Outro] So watch me now from a brighter sky I’ll live the life you couldn’t try Every wound I’ve got turned to shining gold in this scarlet resolve (oh) in this scarlet resolve
