When the River Turns Away

[Verse]
I gave you my mornings I gave you my nights
I built us a castle out of shadows and light
But every word you say feels colder than stone
How did this house turn into a home alone
[Prechorus]
I’ve been holding the sky up with one hand
While you’re digging a hole where we both stand
[Chorus]
When the river turns away where does the water go
When the fire fades to gray where does the passion flow
I can’t keep chasing ghosts when the wind won’t blow
When the river turns away tell me where we go
[Verse 2]
I held every promise like it was gold
But your silence keeps whispering the truth untold
I’m screaming for answers but the echoes stay
Caught in the ruins of the love we made
[Prechorus]
I’ve been trying to swim while the tide pulls back
Lost in the current of what we lack
[Chorus]
When the river turns away where does the water go
When the fire fades to gray where does the passion flow
I can’t keep chasing ghosts when the wind won’t blow
When the river turns away tell me where we go
