I attempt to bridge the gap across the void you've created
Separating reality from my former image of you
Drawing me in like a moth to a flame
The fire in your eyes is nothing but a childlike glimmer
My hands are numb from gripping you so tightly
Release feels like i'm breathing for the first time
How did I welcome drowning for so long?
Were you always a dream? Was I just asleep?
I'm letting go
I glance backwards at the backside of warning signs
I have fallen on my own blade
I will sit and watch the blood flow
As we drown in our mistakes
My hands are numb from gripping you so tightly
Release feels like i'm breathing for the first time
Was this always a dream? Was I just asleep?
How did I welcome drowning for so long?
I pulled myself out and now i'm letting go
My insides scream for an impossible resolve
But this ending was drafted before our first
Chapter, there was never a happily ever after
Wide-eyed, I ran blindly into a tragedy
Now I pull bits of your shrapnel from inside of me
Fearful for my own recovery
I find my hands clenching tighter
Than before yours were there to fill them
Wishing that this all could be forgiven
But it isn't all that simple, is it?
Some things are built with failure in the blueprints
But we're still left here standing in the ruins
Staring at the wreckage we now live with
I still see you in my sleep
I see you in my sleep
Was this always a dream?
Was I just asleep?
Now I'm breathing for the first time
How did I welcome drowning for so long?
I pulled myself out
And now I'm letting go
