Before It Slips Away

[Verse 1]
Fists on the table
Voices like broken glass
You say you're tired of bleeding
I say this can't be our last
Coffee cold on the counter
Pictures face-down on the floor
Every frame is a battlefield
Worth spilling a little more for
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember every scar
Every sunrise in your car
Are we really gonna burn
What we swore we'd never harm?
[Chorus]
I'm fighting for the love before we lose it
Holding to the deepest memories we made
If everything we built is gonna break now
Let it break with my name on the blade
I'm fighting for the love before we lose it
I won't let us fade into the grey
If we have to fall
Then let us fall
Screaming your name
Before it slips away
[Verse 2]
You pack truths with the t-shirts
Say you're "just taking a break"
But I can hear in the zipper
Every promise start to shake
That first night on your rooftop
Rain soaking through your clothes
You swore you'd stay 'til the end
I swore I'd never let go
[Pre-Chorus]
If we're standing on the edge
Put my heart up as a wedge
Let the world come crashing down
I'll be here
I won't step back
[Chorus]
I'm fighting for the love before we lose it
Holding to the deepest memories we made
If everything we built is gonna break now
Let it break with my name on the blade
I'm fighting for the love before we lose it
I won't let us fade into the grey
If we have to fall
Then let us fall
Screaming your name
Before it slips away
[Bridge]
Tear my pride out
Leave it on the floor (yeah)
If this is war now
Then you're what I'm fighting for
Cut me open
Let the truth pour through
If I walk away from this
I walk away from you
[Chorus]
I'm fighting for the love before we lose it
Holding to the deepest memories we made
If everything we built is gonna break now
Let it break with my name on the blade
I'm fighting for the love before we lose it
I won't let us fade into the grey
If we have to fall
Then let us fall
Screaming your name
Before it slips away

metal, Surging modern metal with male vocals; low-tuned chugging guitars and sharp double-kick under tight, syncopated verses. Pre-chorus widens with open chords and octave leads, then an anthemic, shout-along chorus explodes with layered gang vocals. Brief halftime bridge with dissonant guitars and screamed lines before a final, soaring chorus.
