Shadows pull me back against my will
To the empty space that you still fill
Your phantom steps are pacing on the floor
Trapping me inside and locking up the door
Time has left a permanent scar to bleed
Clinging to the wreckage of a broken need
I would breathe for you when you could not
Now I am the prisoner of what you forgot
I have held your fears and made them mine
Losing my own self across the line
Your light was once the fire that I chased
But now it is a cage that can not be erased
In my dreams you visit like a haunting ghost
Wasting every part of what I used to love the most
Time has left a permanent scar to bleed
Clinging to the wreckage of a broken need
I would breathe for you when you could not
Now I am the prisoner of what you forgot
I have held your fears and made them mine
Losing my own self across the line
I tell myself you are finally gone but I am still in the dark
Keeping you alive has left me here with nothing but a hollow heart
I would breathe for you when you could not
Now I am the prisoner of what you forgot
I have held your fears and made them mine
Losing my own self across the line
