I loved you like the sun loves the morning sky
Clinging to your warmth, afraid of goodbye
You were my refuge, my safety, my storm
But I held you so tightly, I shattered your form
I was the artist, painting you gold
But the cracks in my heart made my grip too cold
You were my lifeline, my saving grace
But I drowned you in shadows I couldn't erase
I loved you too much, or not enough to stay
Now I'm lost in the echoes of your fading face
I hated the way I adored your flaws
Like loving a masterpiece riddled with scars
But my fear was the villain, my love was the crime
I couldn't trust forever, so I ran out of time
I built you a kingdom, then burned it all down
You wore the crown, but I wore the frown
You were my lifeline, my saving grace
But I drowned you in shadows I couldn't erase
I loved you too much, or not enough to stay
Now I'm lost in the echoes of your fading face
I carved your name in my porcelain heart
A fragile reminder we were doomed from the start
You tried to hold me when I fell apart
But I pulled away and called it art
You were my lifeline, my saving grace
But I drowned you in shadows I couldn't erase
I loved you too much, or not enough to stay
Now I'm lost in the echoes of your fading face
If I could rewrite the story, I'd leave out the fear
Erase every moment I pushed you near tears
But love is a mirror that cracks when it's true
And now all I can see are the shards of you
