[Verse 1]
I built a shrine inside my chest
Carved your name into every breath
So busy praying you'd stay
I was never there anyway
Gave you everything I had
Poured out rivers, left me cracked
You were standing right in front of me
But I was drowning in what couldn't be
[Pre-Chorus]
I was living in a future
That was killing off the now
Held you from a thousand miles
While you were right here, somehow
[Chorus]
I held you so tight I forgot to hold myself
Burned so bright for you, left nothing else
These hollow hands that gave you everything
Couldn't hold the one thing they were meant to keep
[Verse 2]
The silence after you were gone
Was the loudest I had ever known
And in the wreckage I could see
A stranger staring back at me
[Pre-Chorus]
I was living in a future
That was killing off the now
Held you from a thousand miles
While you were right here, somehow
[Chorus]
I held you so tight I forgot to hold myself
Burned so bright for you, left nothing else
These hollow hands that gave you everything
Couldn't hold the one thing they were meant to keep
[Bridge]
This isn't just a loss
This is the ground
Where I finally fall apart
To finally be found
[Outro]
You were everything I'd bleed for
Now I'm learning how to breathe
Tore myself apart to keep you
Time to put me back together piece by piece
