A sad haunting, cinematic pop ballad, piano, acoustic and electric guitar, strings, subtle drums, synth pads, reverb

V3.5

(Verse 2)
You carry memories like stones in a well,
Drowning in shadows you won’t let yourself feel.
I’d give anything to break down your walls,
But I watch as you keep building them tall.

(Pre-Chorus)
And I can feel your pain from miles away,
A heavy silence that won’t go away.

(Chorus)
Let go, let go, of all the fears you hide,
I’ll be here waiting, always by your side.
We don’t have to be what the world’s become,
Afraid of being loved, afraid of being loved.

(Verse 3)
Sometimes you laugh, but I see the cracks,
The emptiness hiding behind what you act.
It’s like a ghost that you carry around,
A weight so heavy, it drags you down.

(Verse 4)
How can I show you there’s more to feel?
That love can hurt, but it also heals.
I’d give every breath just to see you believe,
In something more than the scars you keep.

(Chorus)
Let go, let go, of all the fears you hide,
I’ll be here waiting, forever by your side.
We don’t have to be what the world’s become,
Afraid of being loved, afraid of being loved.

(Bridge)
But I can’t keep chasing ghosts that won’t let go,
And I can’t make you see what you don’t want to know.
You’ve got to open your heart to the light,
Or stay lost in the darkness of endless night.

(Breakdown)
You pull me close, but your heart stays away,
I’m here, but somehow, you keep me at bay.
How long can I wait for you to come around,
When every time I reach, I’m the one who drowns?

(Chorus)
Let go, let go, of all the fears you hide,
I’ll be here waiting, through the bitter tides.
We don’t have to be what the world’s become,
Afraid of being loved, afraid of being loved.

(Bridge)
And if you fall, I’ll be there in the dark,
With open arms and an unbroken heart.
But I’m only human, I’m only flesh and bone,
Waiting for someone who feels so alone.

(Verse 5)
I wonder if you know how much this hurts,
To love someone who’s scared of what it’s worth.
I’d tear down the sky, just to make you see,
That you’re more than the shadows that haunt your sleep.

(Chorus)
Let go, let go, of all the fears you hide,
I’ll be here waiting, till the end of time.
We don’t have to be what the world’s become,
Afraid of being loved, afraid of being loved.

(Outro)
And if this is all that we’ll ever be,
Two distant souls longing to be free,
I’ll hold onto hope, even if it fades,
For a world unafraid, unafraid to be saved.

The world has grown up to be afraid of being loved...
And sometimes, so have we.

(Verse 1) The world has grown up to be afraid of being loved, Guarded hearts, like shattered glass, afraid to trust. I see it in your eyes, that flicker and fade, Every time I reach for you, you pull away. (Verse 2) You carry memories like stones in a well, Drowning in shadows you won’t let yourself feel. I’d give anything to break down your walls, But I watch as you keep building them tall. (Pre-Chorus) And I can feel your pain from miles away, A heavy silence that won’t go away. (Chorus) Let go, let go, of all the fears you hide, I’ll be here waiting, always by your side. We don’t have to be what the world’s become, Afraid of being loved, afraid of being loved. (Verse 3) Sometimes you laugh, but I see the cracks, The emptiness hiding behind what you act. It’s like a ghost that you carry around, A weight so heavy, it drags you down.
