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?
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?
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
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
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 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?
OUTRO
No more hiding from the light
Something that can survive
If I step into the silence
Will you call me back this time
We finally hear each other
How would you rate this song?
