Verse 1:
I wear your shadows, wrapping tight around my skin,
Each thread a reminder, of where we’ve been.
These fabrics hold the laughter, the whispers in the night,
As I carry your essence, it feels so right.
Chorus:
In every seam, I find your light,
Bittersweet echoes in the fading twilight.
In this borrowed skin, I’ll feel your grace,
Until we meet in the last embrace.
Verse 2:
Survivor's guilt, it lingers close,
But in my heart, you’re the one I host.
Every stitch you left behind still weaves,
A tapestry of memories, a heart that believes.
Chorus:
In every seam, I find your light,
Bittersweet echoes in the fading twilight.
In this borrowed skin, I’ll feel your grace,
Until we meet in the last embrace.
Bridge:
Let me wear your dreams, let me show your fight,
In each falling tear, I’ll find my sight.
You’ve shed this skin, but it’s not the end,
In every heartbeat, you’ll always transcend.
Chorus:
In every seam, I find your light,
Bittersweet echoes in the fading twilight.
In this borrowed skin, I’ll feel your grace,
Until we meet in the last embrace.
Outro:
I’ll dance in your clothes, I’ll breathe in your name,
I’ll honor your spirit, I’ll never be the same.
In the threads of memory, I’ll keep you alive,
With every worn piece, it’s love that will thrive.

A bittersweet song written to a terminally ill friend. SHe's given some of her clothes to you and wearing them gives you survivor's guilt, but you want to wear them with pride while she's still here. You want to make the most of the skin she's shed, like you make the most of her
