Saving Ghosts

[Verse]
I threw a rope into your storm
But you let it slip like it was warm
Your anchor’s heavy but your sails are torn
I lit a lantern to guide you home
But shadows danced
You stayed alone
Your shipwrecked heart carved into stone
[Chorus]
I can’t keep saving ghosts
Chasing shadows I can’t hold
Your fire burns
But it’s so cold
I hate to see your heart break
When you won’t stop the earthquake
[Verse 2]
I built a bridge with my own hands
But you keep sinking in your sands
A drowning king in his own lands
I whispered truths you’d never hear
Through the static of your fears
I see you
But you disappear
[Prechorus]
I can’t carry all your weight
You’ve got to open your own gate
