Verse I’ve been running from the silence in my chest Every memory hits harder than the rest Every corner of this house still spells your name All those words unsaid are driving me insane [Pre-Chorus] And I know we tried, God knows we tried To keep the light from leaving your eyes But some things fail, and some things fade And I can’t fix what’s meant to break [Chorus] ’Cause you were love I couldn’t carry A weight I couldn't hold And I’m standing in the wreckage of the stories never told I’m the fire burning out You’re the reason I’m still cold You were love I couldn’t carry You were always hard to hold [Verse 2] I still see you in the shadows of the room Feel the softness of a ghost that I once knew I am haunted by the thought of letting go Cause the pain still follows everywhere I go [Pre-Chorus] And I know we tried, God knows we tried To turn the tide and change our lives But hearts get tired, and nights get long And somehow right can still go wrong [Chorus] ’Cause you were love I couldn’t carry A weight I couln't hold And I’m standing in the wreckage of the stories never told I’m the fire burning out You’re the reason I’m still cold You were love I couldn’t carry You were always hard to hold [Bridge] Maybe someday I’ll forgive myself For letting go when you needed help But I was breaking too, I was breaking too And I still am, without you [Final Chorus] ’Cause you were love I couldn’t carry A weight I couldn't hold And the hardest part of losing you is the part I’ll never show I’m the fire burning out You’re the reason I’m still cold You were love I couldn’t carry You were always hard to hold
