Falling Apart

We built a house of cards

Paper thin

Held it up with whispers

Love within

But the wind came

Soft then sharp

Falling apart

Falling apart

We were two halves of one beating heart

Now the cracks show

Now the walls cave

Falling apart

We can’t be saved

Your words like shadows

Haunt the air

I reach for you

But you’re not there

Silence louder than a scream

I ask why

You just sigh

Love turns cold

And we say goodbye

Falling apart

Falling apart

We were two halves of one beating heart

Now the cracks show

Now the walls cave

Falling apart

We can’t be saved

A photo fades

The edges curl

We were everything

We were the world

Now just ashes

Dust in the rain
