[Verse 1]
I see it crawling in your veins again
A quiet war you never let me in
Your eyes go dim but you’re still breathing slow
A fading light I’m scared to let go
I crack a joke, try to pull you near
But silence answers everything I fear
You drift away while I’m reaching through
A ghost beside me that I can’t lose
[Pre-Chorus]
I’d take the weight, I’d wear your pain
If love was enough to break these chains
[Chorus]
But I can’t fight what lives inside you
Can’t tear the dark out when it blinds you
I scream your name into the void
But I’m just noise
I’d give my soul just to rewrite you
Take every scar and make it mine too
But all I am is standing here
While you disappear
[Verse 2]
There’s nights I watch to make sure you breathe
Counting seconds like they’re all I need
Every shadow whispers something wrong
And I’m not sure how to keep you strong
I carry hope like a loaded gun
But every shot just comes undone
I try to shine, I try to stay
But your storm pulls me away
[Pre-Chorus]
I’d burn myself to light your way
But flames don’t reach where you decay
[Chorus]
And I can’t fight what lives inside you
Can’t tear the dark out when it blinds you
I scream your name into the void
But I’m just noise
I’d give my soul just to rewrite you
Take every scar and make it mine too
But all I am is standing here
While you disappear
[Bridge]
If I could bleed it out of you
I’d drain myself till you were new
If I could break what breaks your mind
I’d leave what’s left of me behind
But this war isn’t mine to win
I’m just the arms you fall within
[Breakdown]
Don’t fade
Don’t slip away from me
I’m here
Even when you can’t see
[Final Chorus]
I won’t leave when the dark surrounds you
Even when I know I can’t save you
I’ll be the voice you can’t destroy
Through the noise
I can’t fix what lives inside you
But I’ll stand here beside you
Till the light finds you again
I’ll be there in the end
