Intro – guitarra limpa + leve eco]
I tried to bury what I felt for you
in the silence of a life I never chose
but silence has a way of bleeding through
when you’re the only truth I’ve ever known
[Verse 1 – guitarras entrando, mais pesadas]
I walk these halls like I don’t belong
every shadow knows my name too well
I built my walls to keep you gone
but you’re the only part I couldn’t kill
and I wear this darkness like a second skin
a badge of all the wars I lost within
[Pre-Chorus – tensão crescente]
And I tell myself I’m fine alone
but every lie still leads me home
[Chorus – explosão emocional, estilo Nickelback clássico]
You were light in a world I couldn’t save
burning through the life I couldn’t change
I loved you in the spaces I erased
now all I am is what remains
and I scream your name into the rain
like it could wash away the pain
but even time can’t make it fade
you’re the ghost I never escaped
[Verse 2 – mais sombrio, mais introspectivo]
They called it power, I called it fear
every promise tasted like rust and steel
I traded pieces of what was real
just to survive what I refused to feel
but every victory feels like decay
when you’re the reason it slips away
[Pre-Chorus – mais intenso]
And I can’t undo what I became
but I still whisper your name
[Chorus – mais forte ainda]
You were light in a world I couldn’t save
burning through the life I couldn’t change
I loved you in the wreckage and the grave
in every wrong choice that I made
and I scream your name into the storm
like love could still keep me warm
but I’m just a shadow you outgained
lost inside this endless chain
[Bridge – quase quebrado, emocional]
If I could go back
I’d lose it all
just to fall
the right way this time
but I know I’d still fail
I’d still fall
I’d still watch you slip through my hands
[Final Chorus – explosão total, guitarras pesadas]
You were light in a world I couldn’t save
and I was just too far gone to change
I loved you like a curse I couldn’t break
like a fire I couldn’t contain
and now I’m screaming in the rain
still calling out your name
but all I am is what remains
between the ashes and the pain
[Outro – guitarra limpa + fade triste]
I tried to bury what I felt for you…
but you never stopped growing inside me.
[Male Vocal]
