[Verse 1]
Rust on my armor
Cracks in this blade
Every step forward
Feels like I fade
Blood on the snowfield
Names in my head
You were the reason
I swung it instead
[Chorus]
If this is where our story ends
I’ll burn my wings to reach your hands
Falling stars
Fading blades
We were bright until we broke
I’ll trade my heart
My yesterday
To be the shield you couldn’t hold
Falling stars
Fading blades
I’ll keep on cutting through the dark (for you)
[Verse 2]
Time turns to splinters
Scars start to sing
You were the quiet
In all of this screaming
Faces around me
Blur into gray
But you stay vivid
Right through the fray (yeah)
[Chorus]
If this is where our story ends
I’ll burn my wings to reach your hands
Falling stars
Fading blades
We were bright until we broke
I’ll trade my heart
My yesterday
To be the shield you couldn’t hold
Falling stars
Fading blades
I’ll keep on cutting through the dark (for you)
[Bridge]
Tell me
Did you ever doubt me?
Tell me
Can you hear me now? (hey)
Every wound that tries to drown me
Spells your name out loud
[Chorus]
If this is where our story ends
I’ll burn my wings to reach your hands
Falling stars
Fading blades
We were bright until we broke
I’ll trade my heart
My yesterday
To be the shield you couldn’t hold
Falling stars
Fading blades
I’ll keep on running through the pain
Till all that’s left of me is yours
Falling stars
Fading blades
I’ll be your ghost upon this stage (oh)
