Fading Hope

(Verse 1)
I’ve been carrying shadows, deep inside my mind  
Trying to find a reason, but I keep falling behind  
They broke me piece by piece, left scars I can't see  
Now I’m just a ghost of who I used to be  

(Pre-Chorus)
I hold onto the light, but it slips away  
Lost in the dark, I can't find my way  

(Chorus)
I don’t know why I try anymore  
Feels like I’m just breaking at the core  
Was so fucked up by the ones I loved before  
Can’t recover from all that I bore  
I try to do good, for a little while  
Then I mess it up, I fall every time  
Fading hope, I can't find my way home  
Lost in the echoes of what I’ve known  

(Verse 2)
Every step I take, I feel the weight of the past  
Trying to move forward, but I’m haunted by what didn’t last  
The mistakes keep piling, shadows in my mind  
Fighting to believe I can leave it behind  

(Pre-Chorus)
I reach for the stars, but they fade away  
Caught in the storm, I can’t see the day  

(Chorus)
I don’t know why I try anymore  
Feels like I’m just breaking at the core  
Was so fucked up by the ones I loved before  
Can’t recover from all that I bore  
I try to do good, for a little while  
Then I mess it up, I fall every time  
Fading hope, I can't find my way home  
Lost in the echoes of what I’ve known  

(Bridge)
Maybe someday I’ll find a way to heal  
Break through the darkness, start to feel real  
But tonight I’m lost, just trying to survive  
Holding onto hope, just to stay alive  

(Outro)
I don’t know why I try anymore  
But I keep fighting, keep knocking on that door  
Fading hope, maybe one day I’ll see  
A way to be free, to just be me
