LYRICS
The glow fades away
It's been a minute since we last spoke
You pulled me in closer, then you bared your soul
What was I to do? Then you left without a clue, now I'm wonderin'
Did my love push you away, am I done again?
And now I'm stuck in this space of uncertainty
Doubting if we'll ever be the same, does it worry me?
Her words replay a haunting melody
In my brain the pain rips apart my energy
I mean, was I too much or or not enough
Spiraling and question my self-worth bottled-up
She was my lover and my homie, my one and only
Now she's got me feeling lonely
I bent boundaries to fit her needs
Till her cracks grew deeper and I couldn't breathe
Need H20, thought she had it, so I chased the glow
Feels like ages ago that she gave me hope
The glow fades away
Revealing faulted lines
The beauty I believed, a painted lie
The glow fades away
It all turns to gray
What's buried deep inside now fills my sky
I gave too much
Ignored the signs
This broken path has left me blind
I'm undone
Falling fast
The damage caused can't be defined
When your presence tears the walls, they hide behind
They're not running from you, but from who they bound to find
That version they need to serve her burnin inferno
Her affection reveals, I'm hurtin' internal
How long can she suppress the fear?
Intimacy unveils her cloak, you can't learn a lesson here
Wounds beneath heavy gaze, every day's, heavy pain
I hate it when she's been away
It's the weight of being seen that they truly fear
Break your heart and keep your soul as a souvenir
Vulnerability, all for you
Risking rejection for affection, showing my flaws to you
You high maintenance, men rise to the high occasion
But the work it demands, keeps 'em on thin ice skating
Ignoring what she needs to heal
They cast their shadows at you, denying what's really real
Every warning whispered loud and clear
Still I stand here
The glow fades away
Revealing faulted lines
The beauty I believed, a painted lie
The glow fades away
It all turns to gray
What's buried deep inside now fills my sky
I gave too much
Ignored the signs
This broken path has left me blind
I'm undone
Falling fast
The damage caused can't be defined
Wait until it breaks
It breaks
I'm holding on where nothing's strong
So wrong
I gave too much
Ignored the signs
This broken path has left me blind
I'm undone
Falling fast
The damage caused can't be defined
The glow fades away
What's buried deep inside now fills my sky
The glow fades away
The damage caused can't be defined
The glow fades away
I gave too much, ignored the signs
The glow fades away
This broken path has left me blind
Away
Away
