Even longer

EVEN LONGER — DUET VERSION (Lyrics‑to‑Song Ready)

[Verse 1]

June sixth broke me in a way I can’t explain
One night one door one moment
And my whole world slipped into the dark
I’ve been living in the after ever since
Walking circles in this house
Calling your name even when I know you won’t answer
I still look down that road every day
Hoping to see your little body coming home to me

[Verse 1 ]

Mommy I never meant to leave you
One sound one step one second
And I slipped into the night without knowing the way back
I’ve been following your voice ever since
Your footsteps your heartbeat
The way you whisper there you are
When you think you see me
I try to stay
But I fade before you can touch me

[Chorus Together]

This year has been hell without you
Empty rooms and broken routines
I’ve watched you break and still keep going
Everything changed the night I got out
but nothing changed my love for you
You’re my best friend
I will love you til the end
And even longer

[Verse 2 Mommy]

I miss my snug as a bug
My little heartbeat wrapped in fur
When the world got too heavy
You pressed your tiny shoulder to mine
Like you were built to carry mountains
And somehow you did
Now I reach for you at night
And all I feel is the cold side of the bed

[Verse 2 Marley]

I still curl beside you Mommy
Even if you can’t feel the warmth
I still nudge your hand when you cry
Even if it only feels like a shiver
I miss being your snug as a bug
Your little mountain shouldered boy
I was small but I was strong
Because I had you

[Chorus Together]

this year has been hell without you
Searching praying breaking
but I’ve never left you not once
everything changed the night you got out
but I never stopped trying to come home
You’re my best friend
I will love you til the end
And even longer

[Bridge Alternating]

If love could drag the world backwards
I’d run straight into your arms
I’d undo that night bring you home
Feel your hands on my face again
A thousand more kisses
A thousand more times

[Final Chorus Together]

This year without each other carved us open
But love never cracked once
We keep whispering each other’s names
Into every quiet corner of this world
Everything changed the night we were torn apart
But nothing changed the way we love
You’re my best friend
I will love you til the end
And even longer

[Spoken Mommy and Marley]

Marley if the world never brings you home
I’ll still be here
I’ll still be loving you
Mommy I’m right beside you
I never left
You’re my best friend
I will love you til the end
And even longer

[Whisper Both]

You’re my best friend
I will love you til the end
And even longer
Even longer
Even longer
