[Intro]
Fading echoes, silent streets
Lost in the ache that no one sees
[Verse 1]
We built castles out of sand
Dreams slipping right through our hands
Trying to hold what’s already gone
Fighting shadows, staying strong
[Pre-Chorus]
But I believe in us somehow,
Even when the tears start to drown
Whispering hope into the night,
Hoping wrong turns into right
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Every word a battle scar
Staring at the distant star
Refusing to let go loose,
Clinging to a fragile truth
[Pre-Chorus]
And I still believe in us somehow,
Though the silence screams out loud
Turning pain into resolve,
Finding strength to evolve
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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
