You Were The Constant [SSC8, Netherlands]

[verse 1] Love is described as a constant in a world that doesn’t move Something fixed and self-contained untouched by what we do What use is something timeless when time keeps altering us? If it only works in theory, what even is it's purpose? [pre-chorus] In a world that kept on moving You remained right there A place I could return to Where things stayed as they were [chorus] It wasn’t standing outside of change, It didn't come from above It was staying while things kept moving And still calling that enough [verse 2] People change in quiet ways Long before we see What once felt close and obvious turns into memory Nothing keeps its original form once it has to bend You moved with every changing year with everything it took You let the world keep altering but never where you stood [instrumental break] [chorus] It wasn’t standing outside of change, It didn't come from above It was staying while things kept moving And still calling that enough Love through all the changing, the kind that came from you. [bridge] The years kept turning forward as they were bound to do And with you went the constant that I thought would see me through [final chorus] You accepted change as it came You never asked for more You let the world keep altering and still you stayed the core [outro] And that was love And that was you
