Lyrics
Shadows fall across the floor
I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore
The room is spinning, the air is cold
Letting go of the promises we used to hold
I retrace every step I took
Searching for a page in a closed-up book
But the ink has faded, the words are gone
And it's getting harder to pretend there's a dawn
We reached for the stars but we hit the ground
Now the silence is the only sound
The lights are dimming in my chest
I gave you all, I gave my best
But the current is pulling, the water is deep
These are the secrets I can't keep
I'm falling through the empty space
And I can't find a saving grace
I'm letting go
I'm losing hope
Smoke clears on an empty floor
I don't recognize myself anymore
We dance in the ashes of what we built
Heavy hearts drowning in the guilt
It's a beautiful tragedy, watching it burn
To a point of no return
The lights are dimming in my chest
I gave you all, I gave my best
But the current is pulling, the water is deep
These are the secrets I can't keep
I'm falling through the empty space
And I can't find a saving grace
There's nothing left
I'm losing hope
Losing hope
Just a shadow on the floor
Turn the lights out
Close the door
