Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lost in the mist
Of dreams we shared
Shadows of memories, once how we cared
Fading through nights
Of whispers and fights
Echos within me, burned by starlight
Wishing tonight
To end this fight
Give me the strength to let go, take flight
You were my guide
Now empty inside
I need to find my way through the tide
[Chorus]
(Can't stay there)
I'm breaking through the night
Finding light
Ending fright
Of you and me and you and I, the fight
[Verse 2]
Fragile yet bold
Stories untold
Embers of feelings turning to cold
Silent and meek
Close but so weak
Crimson and gold hues turning so bleak
Tears on the ground
No peace I've found
World we built together falling down
The sky still cries
Underneath lies
Hoping that dawn gives a new set of eyes
[Chorus]
(Can't stay there)
I'm breaking through the night
Finding light
Ending fright
Of you and me and you and I, the fight
[Bridge]
Rise from ashes
Find new flashes
Of hope that burns within my soul
Leave behind, the past clashes
Let my heart once again feel whole
[Chorus]
(Can't stay there)
