I built a bridge, you let it burn Watched the flames, but didn’t turn Kept my hands outstretched for years You just disappeared I left the light on by your door Traced your name into the floor But dust and echoes talk too loud And you don’t hear me now Tell me, do you taste regret? Or just the static in your head? I held you up, I took your part But I can’t hold your bastard heart Your bastard heart, so cold, so still Tied to nothing, bending will I poured the love, I made the start But I can’t move your bastard heart I showed up every time you fell Dragged you screaming out of hell But you still linger in the ash Still refuse to face the past You locked the doors inside your mind Tossed the key, stayed deaf and blind Now every thread is coming loose And I can’t stitch the truth Tell me, do you feel the weight? Or does it crumble, just too late? I reached for you inside the dark But I can’t reach your bastard heart Your bastard heart, so cold, so still Tied to nothing, bending will I poured the love, I made the start But I can’t move your bastard heart I won’t wait for ghosts to speak Or chase the past on tired feet Some things break and stay that way Some doors were never meant to stay Your bastard heart, a hollow drum Beats for no one, speaks to none I gave you fire, you stayed the spark Now I leave your bastard heart I leave your bastard heart behind It’s yours to carry, not mine.
