Trying to Make It Right

Fading echoes, silent streets

Lost in the ache that no one sees

We built castles out of sand

Dreams slipping right through our hands

Trying to hold what’s already gone

Fighting shadows, staying strong

But I believe in us somehow,

Even when the tears start to drown

Whispering hope into the night,

Hoping wrong turns into right

Why does love have to be so cruel?

Breaking all the rules

Fighting for what’s left inside,

Even when we’ve died a thousand times

Holding onto what’s true

Waiting for the breakthrough

Disappointment in our eyes,

Still trying to make it right

Every word a battle scar

Staring at the distant star

Refusing to let go loose,

Clinging to a fragile truth

And I still believe in us somehow,

Though the silence screams out loud

Turning pain into resolve,

Finding strength to evolve

Why does love have to be so cruel?

Breaking all the rules

Fighting for what’s left inside,

Even when we’ve died a thousand times

Holding onto what’s true

Waiting for the breakthrough

Disappointment in our eyes,

Still trying to make it right

Every stumble, every fall

Fuel the hope that beats in us all

We’re not given up, not quite defeated,

In the ashes, dreams are heated

So we’ll keep walking this broken line,

Hoping time will realign

Disappointment may darken our skies,

But love’s light still tries to rise
