(Intro) I'm buildin' castles from the rubble of my mistakes I'm drawin' blueprints from the pieces that my heart breaks I know you see me, but you're lookin' through a ghost, it's true That ghost was me, and girl, I'm comin' back to you. (Verse 1) Yeah... I was right there on the couch, but I was miles away Trapped inside a maze I built myself, and decided I would stay I saw the questions in your eyes, a silent, painful plea But the war inside my skull was all that I could see. I thought I had to be the rock, the fortress and the wall Fix every leak before the storm, catch every fall So I retreated to my mind, a one-man repair crew And the collateral damage, yeah, I see it now was you. I was solvin' for the future, forgot about the now Makin' silent vows to fix it all, but I forgot just how To be present in the moment, to hold your hand and stay I let the demons rent the space where my heart used to lay. (Pre-Chorus) And I know, I know, I made you feel alone Even when I was right there, next to you at home. It was a hell in my head, a battlefield and a fire And I got lost in the smoke of my own desire... to be enough. (Chorus) So let me spend the rest of my days, tryin' to get that love back I'm tearin' down these walls I built, I'm gettin' off this track I disappeared inside my head, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry It was the hell in my head that took me, don't you worry I'm gonna love you like I should, for the rest of my days I'm fightin' to win back the sunlight in your haze. (Verse 2 ) Remember how we used to talk 'til the sun would creep? Laughin' 'bout the little things before we fell asleep? I traded that for silence and a thousand-yard stare Plannin' for a perfect life, but you weren't standin' there. You were right beside me, but I put you in the bleachers Turned myself into a preacher of my own flawed features. I was buildin' us a kingdom on a fault line in my brain And I'm amazed you even stuck around through all the pain. So this is my surrender, my white flag in the night I'm not here to win the argument, I'm here to make it right. The only thing I need to fix is the space between your hand and mine And I'll spend all the time it takes, 'til I see that you're truly mine. (Pre-Chorus) And I know, I know, I made you feel alone Even when I was right there, next to you at home. It was a hell in my head, a battlefield and a fire And I got lost in the smoke of my own desire... to be enough. (Chorus) So let me spend the rest of my days, tryin' to get that love back I'm tearin' down these walls I built, I'm gettin' off this track I disappeared inside my head, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry It was the hell in my head that took me, don't you worry I'm gonna love you like I should, for the rest of my days I'm fightin' to win back the sunlight in your haze. (Bridge) It was never you, it was always me A prisoner of my own anxiety. I'm kickin' down the door, I'm lettin' out the light I'm stayin' right here, I'm not leavin' your sight. Just give me one more chance to prove these words are true... My heaven's always been right here on Earth with you. (Chorus) So let me spend the rest of my days (all my days!), tryin' to get that love back I'm tearin' down these walls I built, I'm gettin' off this track (I'm off it now!) I disappeared inside my head, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry (I'm so sorry, baby) It was the hell in my head that took me, don't you worry I'm gonna love you like I should, for the rest of my days (the rest of my life!) I'm fightin' to win back the sunlight in your haze. (Outro) Yeah... I'm right here. No more disappearin' acts. Just me, you, and the facts. I'm in this fight. For your love. For life. Right here.
