Break My Walls (v.2)

[Verse 1]
You said “hold on”
But you let go first
Now every promise
Is a twisted curse
Cold hands shaking
On a phone gone dark
I trace your name
Like a faded scar

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me
Was I just a moment?
Something easy to erase?
I’m staring at the wreckage
Of the life we never made

[Chorus]
You were meant to break my fall
But you watched me crash instead
Now I’m crawling through the glass
Of the words we never said
I was reaching for your hand
You were reaching for escape
You were meant to break my fall
Now I rise up from the break
(yeah, I rise up from the break)

[Verse 2]
Blank screen flicker
In an empty room
Your ghost is laughing
In my old perfume
Heartbeats hammer
Like a warning flare
I wear the damage
Like a dare
Like a dare

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you ever really see me?
Or just shadows on a wall?
I burned myself to keep you
You just watched the fire fall

[Chorus]
You were meant to break my fall
But you watched me crash instead
Now I’m crawling through the glass
Of the words we never said
I was reaching for your hand
You were reaching for escape
You were meant to break my fall
Now I rise up from the break
(yeah, I rise up from the break)

[Bridge]
[Drop to half-time
Distant vocal]
I won’t be your victim
Your alibi
I’m done bleeding out for your perfect lie
Tear these pictures
Let the colors run
You don’t own the ruin I’ve become

[Chorus]
You were meant to break my fall
But you watched me crash instead
Now I’m walking on the glass
Of the life we left for dead
I was reaching for your hand
You were reaching for escape
You were meant to break my fall
Now I rise up from the break
(now I rise, now I rise)
