Broken Ties

Verse 1: Words burn through, like acid rain, Left scars so deep, beyond the pain. Haunted nights, shattered days, Lost in a maze, my own ways. Chorus: This heart of mine, it beats but feels like stone, In my dreams, I’m always alone. These ties that bind, now they tear, What happened to the warmth we used to share? What happened to us, can’t we just rewind? I’m lost without this family, can’t leave them behind. Verse 2: Missed calls, lost words, the silence wide, The gap grows, with my pride. Once I was the light, now the shadow falls, Between these walls, echoes my faults. Chorus: This heart of mine, it beats but feels like stone, In my dreams, I’m always alone. These ties that bind, now they tear, What happened to the warmth we used to share? What happened to us, can’t we just rewind? I’m lost without this family, can’t leave them behind. [break] [Raw and stripped down, almost whispering] Bridge: I’ve let you down, got lost along the way, Every outburst, every fray. I’m the tempest, I’m the night, Pushing you away, though I cling tight. [break] [Softly, a plea for understanding, minimalistic backdrop] Breakdown: Don’t give up on me, Don’t let me be, I’m drowning in this guilt, can’t you see? [repeat] [screaming] [Slow, lingering guitar chords] Outro: Goodbyes like thorns, so hard to say, We say ‘I love you’ like it’s just okay. But beneath the lies, beneath the fights, I meant every word, through the darkest nights.
