(Intro) I watched you fade in slow motion, like a ghost in the room Every breath you took felt borrowed, every night felt doomed I kept reachin’ for your hand while you sank in the fumes And the hardest part was knowin’ I could only watch you lose (Verse) You were coughin’ through the silence with your eyes half‑closed Shakin’ on the edge like your body froze I saw the bottles on the counter like a line of ghosts And every one stole a piece of you I needed the most I held you when you trembled, when your voice went thin When your heartbeat stuttered underneath your skin When you whispered you were tired and you couldn’t win And I felt my own chest crack as you caved within I begged you to stay, but the poison spoke louder Watched the light in your face turn colder, cloudier You were slippin’ through my fingers like water And I hated myself for not bein’ stronger (Pre-Chorus) I tried to pull you back, but you were fallin’ too fast Every promise that you made got buried in the past I was holdin’ on to hope like it was all I had But hope can’t save a soul that’s breakin’ this bad (Chorus) And it kills me Watchin’ you drown in the dark where I can’t reach Hearin’ you cry through the walls in a voice too weak Seein’ the person I love turn hollow and bleak I’m losin’ you slowly, week by week And it breaks me Knowin’ I can’t fix the pain you keep Knowin’ you’re fightin’ a war that’s cuttin’ too deep I’m watchin’ you fall, and all I can do is weep For the version of you I pray you’ll keep (Verse) I remember when you laughed like the world was yours Now your smile’s just a shadow of what came before You move like you’re carryin’ a thousand wars And I’m scared you won’t make it through one more I hear you pacing at night, hear the fear in your breath Hear the way your body shakes like it’s close to death You say you’re fine, but your eyes confess That you’re losin’ the fight you swore you’d suppress I sit beside you, but you feel miles away Like you’re trapped in a storm I can’t convey I’d trade my lungs just to give you one clean day But the pain you’re in won’t let me take your place (Bridge) I’m holdin’ on to pieces of the you I knew Tryin’ to love you through the damage you’re pushin’ through I can’t save you — but I refuse to lose The hope that someday you’ll choose you (Breakdown) I see you breakin’ I feel you shakin’ Your hands keep fadin’ My heart keeps achin’ I’m scared you’ll take it Too far to make it But I’m still waitin’ For you to awaken (Chorus) And it kills me Watchin’ you drown in the dark where I can’t reach Hearin’ you cry through the walls in a voice too weak Seein’ the person I love turn hollow and bleak I’m losin’ you slowly, week by week And it breaks me Knowin’ I can’t fix the pain you keep Knowin’ you’re fightin’ a war that’s cuttin’ too deep I’m watchin’ you fall, and all I can do is weep For the version of you I pray you’ll keep (Outro) If you ever find the strength to turn around I’ll be right here, standin’ on solid ground I can’t save you — but I won’t back down I’ll hold the light until you’re found
