Verse
I’ve known shadows longer than the sun
Familiar faces, but all the love is gone
Years built walls I thought were mine
Then you came and blurred the lines
Pre-Chorus
Time is a liar, it measures nothing
Only what stands when all is crushing
Chorus:
You cut through the echoes of a lifetime spent
Your truth is a blade I didn’t expect
Better than forever, better than fear
Character speaks, and the lies disappear
I’ve walked through storms that never broke me
But your light’s the first that woke me
Better than forever, better than pain
I’ll follow the heart that won’t betray
Verse 2
I’ve clung to ghosts that whispered home
Comfort in chains I thought were my own
Your hands, they break the old decay
Teach my heart a new way to stay
Pre-Chorus:
Time is a liar, it measures nothing
Only what stands when all is crushing
Chorus
You cut through the echoes of a lifetime spent
Your truth is a blade I didn’t expect
Better than forever, better than fear
Character speaks, and the lies disappear
I’ve walked through storms that never broke me
But your light’s the first that woke me
Better than forever, better than pain
I’ll follow the heart that won’t betray
Bridge:
The years are ashes, the past a stain
But you hold light in the pouring rain
No promises, no empty binds
Just the weight of truth that frees my mind
Chorus/Outro:
You cut through the echoes of a lifetime spent
Your truth is a blade I didn’t expect
Better than forever, better than fear
Character speaks, and the lies disappear
I’ve walked through storms that never broke me
But your light’s the first that woke me
Better than forever, better than pain
I’ll follow the heart that won’t betray
I’ll follow the heart that won’t betray
Tonenico
