Lyrics
[Verse]
I could've been your lighthouse glow
Your anchor when the winds would blow
But you let go
You let go
[Chorus]
I could've been your one and only
The spark that lights when nights feel lonely
I could've been your calm in the storm
But you just gave up
Gave up on us
[Verse 2]
I built a bridge with every fight
You burned it down in the dead of night
Love was heavy but worth the climb
You just ran out of time
[Prechorus]
I held the pieces
Cracked and torn
But you
You left them on the floor
[Chorus]
I could've been your one and only
The flame that kept your heart from folding
I could've been your calm in the storm
But you just gave up
Gave up on us
[Bridge]
Tell me
Did the silence sing you to sleep
Did the waves drown the promises we'd keep
Now I'm just a ghost in the halls of your mind
A memory lost to the tide
