(Verse 1)
Under a sky painted red and gray
You stand tall, carrying a burden not your own
Your smile swallowed by the roaring storm
Every step you take carves a new wound in my soul
(Pre-Chorus)
I watch you slowly breaking in silent pain
Trapped inside these chains of endless dark
The world calls you a hero who’s already slain
But to me, you’re the only light I want to hold
(Chorus)
How do I bear this helpless feeling inside?
Watching you die for a world that doesn’t care
If saving you means I have to break you apart
Then let my hands be stained with sin for your heart
(Verse 2)
The night wind whispers names of those long gone
You force a fragile smile, pretending you’re strong
Your tired eyes still fight to carry on
A shield for a heart that never asked for this song
You say “this is fate,” but your voice begins to crack
I hear the fractures in every word you hide
Even the falling stars are weeping for your sake
But I refuse to be a spectator in your pain
(Pre-Chorus 2)
They praise your sacrifice, call it noble and grand
I just want you alive, not a statue in their hands
The world forgets heroes need someone to hold them tight
Not a blade in their chest or a cold crown every night
(Chorus)
How do I bear this helpless feeling inside?
Watching you die for a world that doesn’t care
If saving you means I have to break you apart
Then let my hands be stained with sin for your heart
(Bridge)
This lightning sword will sever the cruel fate
Even if my heart shatters, even if my soul drowns in hate
I won’t let you walk into that endless night
Let me be the sinner, as long as you survive
(Breakdown – slow & heavy)
Is this love selfish?
Maybe…
I don’t care anymore
Let the whole world burn
As long as you’re still breathing next to me
(Final Chorus – bigger, more powerful)
I can’t bear this helpless feeling anymore!
Watching you slowly die for a world that won’t remember your name
If saving you means I have to kill God Himself
Then let this hell be mine… if it keeps you safe!
(Outro)
(This helpless feeling…)
Sleep now, Kiana…
Let me carry this storm all alone
Let the cruel fate…
Bleed out on my blade.
