[Verse 1]
Loved you since the world was bright
Now I’m off to face the fight
Can’t shield you from his grasp so tight
Wonder if you’ll be alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Every shadow grows tonight
I reach for you but you’re out of sight
[Verse 2]
Saw the fear behind your eyes
Silent cries, no big surprise
Leaving you beneath shadowed skies
Echoes haunt my long goodbyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Every heartbeat feels the strain
Wishing I could ease your pain
[Chorus]
Will he break you when I’m gone?
In the night, so dim and drawn
Heartache’s song, a lonely dawn
Hope your spirit carries on
[Verse 3]
Every letter that I write
Whispers prayers into the night
Hold on through his darkest blight
Love will be your guiding light
[Pre-Chorus]
Distance grows but you remain
A spark of hope within the rain
[Bridge]
Distance builds this aching void
Dreams of you, so often destroyed
Time and pain both deploy
But your memory I’ll never toy
[Chorus]
Will he break you when I’m gone?
In the night, so dim and drawn
Heartache’s song, a lonely dawn
Hope your spirit carries on
[Chorus – Variation / Outro]
Will he break you when I’m gone?
In the night, hold on, stay strong
Heartache fades by morning’s dawn
Love will carry you along
