Fading Hope

(Verse 1)

I’ve been carrying shadows, deep inside my mind

Trying to find a reason, but I keep falling behind

They broke me piece by piece, left scars I can't see

Now I’m just a ghost of who I used to be

(Pre-Chorus)

I hold onto the light, but it slips away

Lost in the dark, I can't find my way

(Chorus)

I don’t know why I try anymore

Feels like I’m just breaking at the core

Was so fucked up by the ones I loved before

Can’t recover from all that I bore

I try to do good, for a little while

Then I mess it up, I fall every time

Fading hope, I can't find my way home

Lost in the echoes of what I’ve known

(Verse 2)

Every step I take, I feel the weight of the past

Trying to move forward, but I’m haunted by what didn’t last

The mistakes keep piling, shadows in my mind

Fighting to believe I can leave it behind

(Pre-Chorus)

I reach for the stars, but they fade away

Caught in the storm, I can’t see the day

(Chorus)

I don’t know why I try anymore

Feels like I’m just breaking at the core

Was so fucked up by the ones I loved before

Can’t recover from all that I bore

I try to do good, for a little while

Then I mess it up, I fall every time

Fading hope, I can't find my way home

Lost in the echoes of what I’ve known

(Bridge)

Maybe someday I’ll find a way to heal

Break through the darkness, start to feel real

But tonight I’m lost, just trying to survive

Holding onto hope, just to stay alive

(Outro)

I don’t know why I try anymore

But I keep fighting, keep knocking on that door

Fading hope, maybe one day I’ll see

A way to be free, to just be me
