Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You came in quiet
I came in loud
Two different languages
Same empty crowd
I held the mirror
You turned your face
I traced your shadows
Hoping you'd stay
[Pre-Chorus]
I read the storm in your breathing
Every flinch
Every evening
Thought if I carried the ceiling
We'd stop it from caving in (oh)
[Chorus]
I tried to fight for us
Bleeding through the small things
Holding every cracked piece
Calling it love
I tried to fight for us
Burned myself to keep you
Warm enough to break through
But it wasn't enough
I tried to fight for us
I tried to fight for us
[Verse 2]
You said you're trying
But stayed halfway
One foot in history
One in escape
I drew you maps of
All we could be
You folded corners
Til they cut me
[Pre-Chorus]
You heard the truth in my shaking
Every plea
Every pacing
Thought if I stayed through the breaking
We'd wake up as something new (yeah)
[Chorus]
I tried to fight for us
Bleeding through the small things
Holding every cracked piece
Calling it love
I tried to fight for us
Burned myself to keep you
Warm enough to break through
But it wasn't enough
I tried to fight for us
I tried to fight for us
[Bridge]
Maybe love's not
Who hurts the longest
Maybe leaving
Can be honest
I gave you all
Of what I knew
Now I gotta learn
To fight for me too (oh)
[Chorus]
I tried to fight for us
Bleeding through the small things
Holding every cracked piece
Calling it love
I tried to fight for us
Burned myself to keep you
Warm enough to break through
But it wasn't enough
I tried to fight for us
Now I'm letting go of us
[Outro]
I tried to fight
I tried to fight for us
I tried to fight
Now I'm done fighting us
