lyrics

we spent so much time before I realized it was too late
you wouldn't reveal or share
we'd been ensnared in the trap that sealed our fate

if we had another shot would you take it
and tell me how in life you'd been betrayed
or still shield yourself from me with no reason to be afraid?

where do we find the strength to love
even if it won't be returned?
or the clarity to have peace of mind
no matter how much we've been burned?

I know how much we'd shine
when we're reflected in each other's eyes
but how many layers deep would I have to dive?

with no risk between us there's no reward
so was it worth the cut and how we bled
when you fell upon your sword?

even when I am empty at the core
I am full not for what I restrain but for what I give away

we live a half-life just to keep our whole selves safe
and hold secrets close while keeping everyone else at bay
behind that barrier to your heart who do you love?
and will you wait for life to pass you by
as you protect it all inside?
