I walked around shining like the sun
Unable to be touched by anyone
Until you eclipsed over my heart
With the shadows hanging from your head
You made them mine
To no longer be left alone
Everything seemed to work out fine
Until I forgot my home
Can we run to all that brings us life?
Making peace with roads that brought us strife
Clung to a false sense of hope
The firm grasp reminded me that
None of it was real
I held on tight enough until I felt you
Leading me to the edge
Suffocated every single breath
I gave to keep you alive
You won't stay no matter how hard I try
Can we run to all that brings us life?
Making peace with roads that brought us strife
You only loved me when I was happy
When I made you feel like a man
Smiling cheek to cheek
Giving all that I am
But when I broke into pieces
Smaller than a grain of sand
You let me slip through your fingers
Now I'm alone again
There came a time when we were a home
You were the frame as I became the mirror
Showing everything holding you back
You looked and chose to shatter what we had
The pieces fell into a mosaic
Revealing the love I secretly crave
I hope I allow myself to experience it someday
