You said

"I’ll call"

But the night stayed cold

Dinner for two

Now the silence holds

Your coat still hangs

On the back of my chair

Like a shadow breathing

In empty air

I hear your voice in every room

Every promise

Fading too soon

How did we burn so bright, so wild

Just to vanish without a sound?

If you’re gonna break me

Break me open

Let the truth fall hard against my skin

If you’re gonna leave me

Leave me knowing

We were fire

We were real

We were more than might-have-been

Don’t fade away like I meant nothing

If you’re gonna break me

Break me open

All our plans

Still folded away

Maps of places

We’ll never see

Wide awake

With the dark beside me

Trying to breathe

Where you used to be

You said some endings can be clean

But this one carved its mark in me

I’m standing in the afterlight

Still reaching through the night

Say it’s over

Say it clear

Look me in the eyes right here

Let it tear

Let it burn

Let it leave a scar that learns

If this is our last goodbye

Let it thunder

Let it rise

I’d rather feel the world collapse

Than live inside a quiet lie

If you’re gonna break me

Break me open

Let the pieces sing of what we were

If you’re gonna leave me

Leave me knowing

We were fire

We were truth

We were more than just a blur

Don’t walk away into the silence

If you’re gonna break me

Break me open

Break me open

I was all in

I was hoping

Break me open
