Verse 1
I wake up in the echo of your name
Like it’s stitched into my breath
I tell myself I’m fine alone
But the silence knows the truth best
I trace the cracks along the wall
Counting seconds, counting fears
I swear I’m strong, I swear I’m whole
But I’m breaking just to feel you near
Pre-Chorus
I hate the way I need you
Like a drug I can’t deny
I’m drowning in your absence
Still afraid to say goodbye
Chorus
This is longing, this is damage
This is love I can’t control
I’m lost inside the chaos
But I’m searching for a hope
I’m standing in the static
With your shadow in my chest
If this pain is all I have
Then I’ll wear it like a dress
Verse 2
Every room still smells like us
Like a promise left to rot
I replay every word you said
Like it’s all that I’ve got
They say time heals everything
But time just learns to lie
It teaches you to smile in crowds
And cry alone at night
Pre-Chorus
I build my world around you
Like you’re gravity itself
If you fall, I fall with you
I don’t know me without your help
Chorus
This is longing, this is damage
This is love I can’t control
I’m lost inside the chaos
But I’m searching for a hope
I’m screaming through the static
Trying not to lose my name
If I’m addicted to the pain
At least it keeps me sane
Bridge
Maybe hope is just a flicker
In a city made of fire
Maybe I’m still breathing
‘Cause I haven’t burned out yet
If I let go of your hand
Will I finally stand?
Or will I disappear instead?
Break
I’m alone
But I’m alive
I’m afraid
But I still try
Final Chorus
This is longing, this is healing
This is learning how to cope
I’m dancing with the chaos
Still believing there is hope
Even broken things can glow
In the dark before the dawn
If I survive this night alone
I’ll be stronger when it’s gone
Outro
I don’t need you to save me now
But I’ll always feel the scar
Hope was born inside the wreckage
And it taught me who I am
