[Verse 1] We used to share the same sky Same table Same tired jokes Passed plates and stories Till the candles turned to smoke Every door was open Bare feet on the kitchen floor Now I scroll through strangers In a house that’s not a home anymore [Chorus] There was a golden era Everyone had peace Now we’re scattered like glass on a dead-end street Divided into pieces in a wicked world Trying to find the place we dropped our worth There was a golden era Now it hurts to breathe All this distance where our hearts should be Divided into pieces in a wicked world Still I’m reaching for that golden world [Verse 2] We used to argue softly Then laugh before it got too far Now every word is sharpened Like keys dragged down a car Lines drawn through the playground Friends split down the middle You stand with your side And I’m stuck here in the middle So little [Chorus] There was a golden era Everyone had peace Now we’re scattered like glass on a dead-end street Divided into pieces in a wicked world Trying to find the place we dropped our worth There was a golden era Now it hurts to breathe All this distance where our hearts should be Divided into pieces in a wicked world Still I’m reaching for that golden world [Bridge] Did we trade our hands for anger? (oh) Did we sell our trust for pride? If someone starts the healing Would you cross that line? I keep a seat at the table One more chair turned to the door Hoping one small mercy Could make us whole once more [Chorus] There was a golden era Everyone had peace Now we’re scattered like glass on a dead-end street Divided into pieces in a wicked world Trying to find the place we dropped our worth There was a golden era I still hear the song Even in the ruins where it all went wrong Divided into pieces in a wicked world I’m still reaching for that golden world
