[Verse]
He was chaos wrapped in silk and shame to his name
His promises were whispers then they blew away
The needles found his veins and stole his soul at dawn
Now I hold the pieces though the man is gone
[Chorus]
Stay without breaking though the edges are thin
Fear for the children pray they won’t let it in
Hold on to the light though it flickers and fades
Faith is a whisper but I hope it always stays
[Verse 2]
The kids ask questions I can’t hold the weight
The echo of his laughter turns to shards of hate
Dinner at the table feels colder tonight
I light a flame and ask for strength in the fight
[Chorus]
Stay without breaking though the edges are thin
Fear for the children pray they won’t let it in
Hold on to the light though it flickers and fades
Faith is a whisper but I hope it always stays
[Bridge]
I see his face in habits tucked into their games
The apples don’t fall far I’m scared they’ll do the same
I whisper to the heavens is there still some hope
Or am I just a mother holding onto this rope
[Chorus]
Stay without breaking though the edges are thin
Fear for the children pray they won’t let it in
Hold on to the light though it flickers and fades
Faith is a whisper but I hope it always stays
