Towers

I watched the cracks begin to crawl
Through the walls we swore would never fall
Your shadow’s fading down the hall
And I can’t unhear the silence call
I should’ve seen the storm in your eyes
But I mistook it all for sunrise
Now I’m left with echoes, nothing more
Standing where we were before

When you said that back to me
And said you didn't want to go
Oh, baby, I'm sure I won't fall this time, oh

You never told me you loved me
Never lit a flame in my coldest hours
You walked away and now I’m numb inside
We break like towers, we crash like towers
Everything we dreamed turned into ruins
And you walked away, now I feel nothing
Nothing at all
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Your name still hangs in every room
But it feels like talking to a tomb
I used to dance beneath your light
Now I’m alone beneath the night
I should’ve known the cost of trust
Turns marble hearts into dust
And all the gold we thought we’d find
Was just a shimmer in my mind

When you said it back to me and said
You didn't want to go, oh, baby
I've heard it before and I'm sure
I won't fall this time, oh

You never told me you loved me
Never lit a flame in my coldest hours
You walked away and now I’m numb inside
We break like towers, we crash like towers
Everything we dreamed turned into ruins
And you walked away, now I feel nothing
Nothing at all
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And I could reach for you again
But all I’d find is empty air
The weight of what we could have been
Is something I can’t bear
We built a city in the sky
But never thought it’d burn so fast
Now all that’s left are scattered stones
And ghosts of our past

You never told me you loved me
Never lit a flame in my coldest hours
You walked away and now I’m numb inside
We break like towers, we crash like towers
Everything we dreamed turned into ruins
And you walked away, now I feel nothing
Nothing at all, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh, nothing
Ooh-oh-oh, nothing at all

Once we built our towers
Reaching for the light
But we fell like towers
And my heart feels nothing
