[Verse 1]
My heart’s got walls like castles in the mist
Every smile she shoots feels like a twist
She says she sees the good that I can't find
But these scars go deeper than I left behind
[Verse 2]
Her touch feels warm like a summer’s breeze
Yet I freeze up like winter’s gripping freeze
I see the way she hopes to set me free
But I love her best when she’s not loving me
[Chorus]
I love and leave to save my soul
I’m not the man who’s whole
Her light can’t chase my shadowed past
It’s a love I’m scared will never last
[Verse 3]
She tells me I’m more than the pain I’ve held
But my heart's a story that’ll never be spelled
I want to jump but I’m caught on the ledge
Afraid to trust the safety of her pledge
[Bridge]
I see the dream within her eyes
Yet my truth cuts through with silent lies
Two souls dancing but I step away
I fear the night and not her day
[Chorus]
I love and leave to save my soul
I’m not the man who’s whole
Her light can’t chase my shadowed past
It’s a love I’m scared will never last
