Lyrics

I've been walking through the quiet, where the echoes never fade,
Tracing every shadow of the choices that we made.
You're the fire in the distance, you're the cold beneath my skin,
And every time I try to leave, you pull me back again.

You're the truth I keep avoiding, you're the lie I want to trust,
You're the weight upon my heartbeat, you're the spark beneath the dust.
I'm reaching out for something that I know I shouldn't hold,
But letting go of you is like letting go of my soul.

(Chorus)
And I can't stay, but I can't walk away,
You're the night that steals the day.
I'm breaking, bending, torn in two--
I can't live with or without you.

Every promise feels like thunder, every silence feels like rain,
And I'm drowning in the middle of the love and of the pain.
You're the answer to the question that I never learned to ask,
But every time I reach for you, I'm haunted by the past.

(Bridge)
I've been holding on too tightly to the things that keep me down,
I've been searching for a lifeline in the places I might drown.
If I lose you, I lose something, but if I stay, I lose me too--
I'm standing on the fault line between the truth and you.

(Chorus)
And I can't stay, but I can't walk away,
You're the night that steals the day.
I'm breaking, bending, torn in two--
I can't live with or without you.

So I'm breathing through the tension, through the push and through the pull,
Trying to find the part of me that's still a little whole.
Maybe love is just a battle that we're never meant to win,
But I keep coming back to you again and again.
