This Ends Now

I can feel you slipping away
Are you even hanging on or is this the end of it?
Honestly, how did we carry on this way?
The slow burn of distrust burning us away
I'm guilty of setting myself up
I'm always ready for the fall
Now I'm picking myself up off the pavement
Cold hands left to wonder what we meant
I can't help but feel like I've failed to do enough

How many times have we fallen and we keep reaching out?
All the words left unsaid, they hold no meaning now
We bury ourselves until there's nothing to be found

Just be honest with me, do you still feel the sun?
Has the cold taken hold of everything and everyone?
It's dragging us down, crushing the air from my lungs
I won't go down alone but it keeps pulling me under
It pulls me away and it leaves me out at sea

I am no stranger to love but I've failed this estranged heart
We once spoke of forever like we had any concept of
Where that would take us or how hard it could break us
I saw time steal the light from your eyes
It crept from the darkest corners of my imagination and tore
Apart all that I believe in until the floor splintered beneath us
We once spoke of love like we had any concept of
Where it could take us. Little did we know it would
Hollow us out and leave us staring into the void

When we came to, there was nothing left to hold on to
How many times have we fallen... and we...
There was nothing left but a poison in my veins
A phantom pain I just couldn't shake
