I've been chasing it for miles
Through the dust and broken glass
Feeling every bruise and blister
Still I know I'm not the last
Caught between the lines
The shadows of what I thought I'd find
But it's slipping like a secret
Always running out of time
So close I can taste it
But I can't even touch
Every door's wide open
But I still need a crutch
I want it so bad I can't breathe
Like it's written in the stars just for me
But every time I reach out, it fades away
Is it too much to ask for what I need?
I'm tired of running in this endless dream
Will I ever hold what's just out of reach?
Counting every scar
Wearing every single tear
But there's beauty in the broken
In the weight that I'll still bear
Holding on to hope like it's the air I need to live
But the world keeps taking more than it'll ever give
I can feel it burning just beneath my skin
But every time I grab it's like the walls cave in
I want it so bad I can't breathe
Like it's written in the stars just for me
But every time I reach out it fades away
Is it too much to ask for what I need?
I'm tired of running in this endless dream
Will I ever hold what's just out of reach?
They say patience is a virtue
But what about the fight
When you've given everything
It still can't make it right
I've cried on my rivers
I've torn down the sky
I've screamed at the heavens
Tell me why?
I've held on for dear life
Through the storm and the ache
Now I'm begging for a sign
For something I won't break
I want it so bad I can't breathe
Like it's written in the stars just for me
But every time I reach out it fades away
Is it too much to ask for what I need?
I'm tired of running in this endless dream
Will I ever hold what's just out of reach?
So close, so far, still out of reach
