The Neverending Story

[Verse 1] I saw the spark before the flame A glance, a laugh, a whispered name I dove in deep, no second thought But love like mine is always caught I build a dream from every glance A future born from circumstance They smile, I write a sacred vow But they’re already fading now [Pre-Chorus] I build a castle out of sand They touch the walls, then leave the land I’m always more, they’re always less I give my heart, they second guess [Chorus] It’s the neverending story Of loving too much, too fast Every time I think it’s glory It crumbles, never lasts They say it’s sweet, but not the same They walk away, I take the blame It’s the neverending story Of hearts that never stay [Verse 2] I write their names in sacred ink I see forever on the brink They feel a breeze, I feel a storm They want the light, I want the form I see a myth in every face A love that time cannot erase But they just want a passing thrill I want the fire, they want the chill [Pre-Chorus] I give them songs, I give them skies They give me silence, soft goodbyes I’m always more, they’re always less I give my soul, they second guess [Chorus] It’s the neverending story Of loving too much, too fast Every time I think it’s glory It crumbles, never lasts They say it’s sweet, but not the same They walk away, I take the blame It’s the neverending story Of hearts that never stay [Bridge] Maybe I’m myth, maybe I’m fire Too much truth, too much desire But I won’t dim, I won’t disguise I’ll bleed in love until it flies I’ll chase the stars, I’ll chase the ache I’ll risk it all for what might break I’ll be the storm, I’ll be the sea I’ll love like love was meant to be [Verse 3] I’ve kissed the ghosts of could-have-beens I’ve danced alone in empty skins I’ve held the hope they couldn’t bear I’ve loved too loud, they weren’t prepared But still I rise with every fall Still I believe, still I give all Still I reach out with open hands Still I build dreams from shifting sands [Final Chorus] It’s the neverending story Of loving like it’s fate They say I’m just too heavy I say they came too late I’ll keep the flame, I’ll keep the ache I’ll love again, I’ll risk the break It’s the neverending story Of hearts that never stay [Outro] So here I stand, a heart unclosed A tale retold, a wound exposed I’ll love too much, I’ll love too fast And write the story that won’t last
