VERSE

When did these walls stop feeling like home?

When did we learn how to sleep alone?

Your body is here but your soul's out of reach

And every word dies before it can speak

PRE-CHORUS

How many nights can a silence erase?

How long can a heart keep wearing this face?

I've been been holding something inside of me

Still calling it love for the promise we made

CHORUS

Have I been holding on too long?

Have I mistaken pain for strong?

If I'm the only one reaching through, am I saving us?

I'm losing me to you

Are we at breaking point?

Are we standing at the edge?

I'm still drowning in your shadow

But I'm losing what I have left

If I release this grip tonight

Will anything remain between us?

Before I vanish into the dark

Will you recognize who we were?

Will you recognize what we were?

| F# D# |

VERSE

How many hours can I give to this life?

How many dreams can I bury inside?

I carry the weight of the world on my back

But nothing we lose ever finds its way back

PRE-CHORUS

Can a thousand hours mean nothing at all?

When there's no time to catch me before I fall?

I gave you a future, a home in my name

But I'm the only one feeding the flame

BRIDGE

What keeps two people together for years?

What turns a promise to silence and tears?

If love is a choice we make every day

When did you stop choosing me that way?

Am I asking for more than you can give?

Is there still a reason for us to exist?

I've been knocking where the light used to show

Calling it home while you're letting me go

CHORUS

Are we at the breaking point?

Are we standing at the edge?

I'm still drowning in your shadow

But I'm losing what I have left

If I release this grip tonight

Will anything remain between us?

Before I vanish into the dark

Will you recognize what we were?

BRIDGE

What happens to a man who gives you his heart

Who builds every bridge to a crumbling wall

How much of himself can he leave in the fire

Before he forgets what he wanted and why

wear my strength like a wound in my skin

Smile through the wall that

I'm losing in

VERSE

What will our children remember of me?

If this is the shape they believe love should be

Will they learn that devotion means swallowing pain?

That staying is noble when nothing remains

Or will they see two people trapped in a dream

Too afraid to wake from the sound of the scream?

BRIDGE

What if I leave now because I don't care?

What if I need you to notice

I'm not there?

What if the distance is all that survives?

A space where the truth can no longer hide?

Would you cross it to find your way back?

Would you reach for my hand in the black?

Would you look at the years slipping out of our hands?

And finally ask me to help you understand

Is there still a future beneath all this dust?

CHORUS

Can we rebuild what is broken between us or

I'm just a ghost in the life you used to see

We've been trying for years to repair and grow through pain

the I couldn't ever reclaim

You watched me disappear

You watched me come undone

Tell me, was I ever enough

Or was I only useful when I was the one

Are we at the breaking point?

We're standing at the edge

I'm still drowning in your shadow

But I'm losing what I have left

If I release this grip tonight

Will anything remain between us?

Before I vanish into the dark

Will you recognize what we were?

BRIDGE

Are we at the breaking point?

Or can we turn this around?

There's a spark beneath the ashes

But it's dying underground

I don't need a perfect promise I don't need you to pretend

If I reach for you one final time

Will you meet me where this ends?

| F# D# |

OUTRO

No more hiding from the light

Give me something real

Something that can survive

If I step into the silence

Will you call me back this time

Is this goodbye

Or

is this the moment

We finally hear each other

Are we beyond repair?
