[Verse]
You built walls with paper shields
I fought with fire while you stood still
Your silence louder than a battlefield
[Prechorus]
Every step I took
You backed away
Every word I spoke
You had nothing to say
[Chorus]
Why'd you give up
Why'd you let go
Fighting shadows
I stand alone
I can’t win when you’ve already lost
Your love’s the price
And I’m the cost
[Verse 2]
You dropped the sword
Said it’s too heavy
Left me holding dreams you weren't ready
We were a storm
Now just a levy
[Prechorus]
Every time I reached
You turned your face
Left me stranded in this empty space
[Chorus]
Why'd you give up
Why'd you let go
Fighting shadows
I stand alone
I can’t win when you’ve already lost
Your love’s the price
And I’m the cost
