[Verse 1]
You came to me in rain
With blood on your sleeve
I said, "Hide here tonight"
"I'll never let them see"
I kept your name like fire
Under my tongue
I fought the whole world
With my hands undone
[Pre-Chorus]
And every lie they fed you
I swallowed for us
Every scar they gave me
I turned into trust
You said, "Stay close, stay close"
So I stayed too near
I called it love
I called it fear
[Chorus]
I broke for you
I broke for you
I broke for you tonight
I lost the truth
I lost the truth
To keep you in my sight
Hold me close
Then let me burn
I was your shield
Then your return
I broke for you
I broke for you
And dark came alive
[Verse 2]
They put a blade in my praise
Made poison sound clean
Told me your tears were a game
Told me you lied to me
So I shut every door
I killed every doubt
The hand that saved you first
Is the hand I can't reach out
[Pre-Chorus]
And every kiss felt colder
Every word a chain
I wore your fear like armor
Till it learned my name
You said, "Stay close, stay close"
But your eyes turned away
I held on harder
And lost my way
[Chorus]
I broke for you
I broke for you
I broke for you tonight
I lost the truth
I lost the truth
To keep you in my sight
Hold me close
Then let me burn
I was your shield
Then your return
I broke for you
I broke for you
And dark came alive
[Bridge]
Now there's glass in the altar
Ash in the air
Your voice is a ghost
That won't stay there
I did all I could
I did all I could
But love turned cruel in my hands
If you ever call my name
Know I meant to save
Know I meant to stay
[Final Chorus]
I broke for you
I broke for you
I broke for you tonight
I lost the truth
I lost the truth
And paid with my life
Hold me close
Then let me burn
I was your shield
Then your return
I broke for you
I broke for you
Now I'm the lie
[Outro]
And you
You were the light I lost
You were the light I lost
