*Verse 1:* They say healing comes, But I don't let things fade. Every crack, a path I trace, Every word, a weight I crave. I reach through the static haze, You can't hear what I made. My heart breaks the same; What's left when nothing forgives the lie? *Pre-Chorus:* The past keeps dragging me down, But you'll never see the ground— *Chorus:* There’s nowhere but here where the truth can sting, No cage but us when we pull these strings. If I tear it apart, will you stay or run? You either chain me, or we burn as one. *Verse 2:* I don’t beg, I don’t retreat, But silence cuts like razor wire. I build my walls, brick by brick, No one can breach this burning pyre. Yet between the ash and the flame, Your shadow holds its stubborn claim. How did you become the one who stayed, A silent witness to my blame? *Pre-Chorus:* The fault line’s ready to break, But you hold it all in place— *Chorus:* There’s nowhere but here where the truth can sting, No cage but us when we pull these strings. If I tear it apart, will you stay or run? You either chain me, or we burn as one. *Bridge:* Do I let you go to save us both, Or fight 'til emptiness turns to hope? How far can we fall before we lose the light? Your hands hold the match; let me choose the fight. *Chorus:* There’s nowhere but here where the truth can sting, No cage but us when we pull these strings. If I tear it apart, will you stay or run? You either chain me, or we burn as one. *Outro:* Ashes settle, sky runs clear. The echo whispers I’ll stay right here. No tear undried, no bridge unburned, What’s unforgiven when love's unearned?
