[Verse 1]
You’re pouring wine like nothing’s changed tonight
The candlelight is dancing in your eyes
You’re leaning in, you’re holding me so tight
A desperate attempt to mask the lies
I see the effort in your practiced smile
The way you hang on every word I say
But I’ve been staring at the truth a while
And I can feel us slipping far away
[Pre-Chorus]
The silence screams what you won’t ever speak
The foundation is crumbling, the structure is weak
I know you know… that I know too.
[Chorus]
But the trust is a glass that you shattered to dust!
The warmth of your touch is beginning to rust
I’m terrified of the cycle, the ghost of your hand
Building a kingdom on sinking sand
I loved you once with a heart that was blind
Now I’m searching for pieces I’ll never find!
[Verse 2]
You’re being “perfect,” playing out the part
But there’s a coldness chilling through my chest
Every “I love you” is a poisoned dart
Because I know what happened in the rest
You think devotion buys a clean slate now?
That extra kindness fixes every crack?
I’m watching shadows on your guilty brow
And wondering when the hunger will come back.
[Chorus]
The trust is a glass that you shattered to dust!
The warmth of your touch is beginning to rust
I’m terrified of the cycle, the ghost of your hand
Building a kingdom on sinking sand
I loved you once with a heart that was blind
Now I’m searching for pieces I’ll never find!
[Bridge]
Will you do it again? (Is it just a matter of time?)
Will you break me again? (Was it worth the climb?)
Your affection is heavy, it’s dragging me down
I’m losing my breath, I’m starting to drown!
The man who adored you is dying inside
There’s nowhere for either of us to hide!
[Outro]
The love is fading…
Into the gray…
I’m still here…
But I’ve already walked away.
