The Pain Stayed - Aliza
Lyrics by：Ricky Alone

I thought it would fade
I thought it would leave
But I stay behind
Like a ghost I can't grieve
I smiled through mornings
I laughed through the day
But quiet moments took it away
The wound didn't vanish
The scar didn't heal
I felt it linger
Every touch every feel
I try to move
I try to forget
But the ache remained in silhouette
The pain stayed
When love left
It whispered in shadows
It lingered bereft
The pain stayed even through time
A quiet reminder that some hearts can align
I reach for closure
I reach for peace
I built new walls but they don't release
Some love leaves marks you can't erase
Some sorrow sits in your quiet space
I let it be I let it be I let it stay
Because some hurt won't go away
The pain stayed even when I smiled
Even when I tried to walk another mile
The pain stayed so deep and true
A silent companion through all I do
Maybe it's mercy maybe it's fate
Someone's the lessons that love can negate
I carry it gently I carry it near
The pain stayed and I learned to hear
The pain stayed
In quiet corners
And soft echoes
In stolen hours of pain stay not gone not gone
But part of me all along
I thought it would fade
I thought it would leave
But it stayed behind
And taught me to grieve
