Verse 1 Another year, another shadow Another name I whisper to the night The world keeps turning like it always does But something in me lost the fight Pictures fading on the table Voices echo in my mind Every goodbye leaves a fracture In a heart already cracked with time Pre-Chorus And I feel my body building walls again Stone by stone inside my chest Just to keep the pain from flooding in Chorus When the silence gets too loud in my heart And the memories tear my soul apart My heart goes quiet, it shuts it all down No love, no tears, no joy around I look at the people I love the most But I feel like a wandering ghost Somewhere inside I know the truth The pain needs air… it must break through Verse 2 Every year it takes another Someone close, someone dear Like the sky keeps losing stars Until the night is all I hear I talk to shadows in the hallway Like they’re standing by the door And for a moment I believe They’re coming back like before Pre-Chorus But my heart keeps turning down the sound Like a radio losing signal Just so it won’t break in two Chorus When the silence gets too loud in my heart And the memories tear my soul apart My heart goes quiet, it shuts it all down No love, no tears, no joy around I hold my children in my arms But something shields me from the warmth And somewhere deep I know it’s true This pain must breathe… or it will consume Bridge (soft, reflective) Maybe grief is just love With nowhere left to go Maybe numbness is the armor Of a soul that hurts too slow But under all these walls I built A fragile beat remains Waiting for the moment I can finally feel again Final Chorus When the silence gets too loud in my heart And the memories tear my soul apart I’ll let the river of sorrow run through Because somewhere inside… lives you And maybe time won’t heal the scars But it lets us breathe between the stars And everyone I lost along the way Still lives in the songs I play Outro Another night outside my window But somewhere far away… there’s dawn
