The Fight Is Over - NiExshadow
I've been holding on to pieces
of a love that's slipping through
every word we left unspoken
feels like proof I'm losing you
We kept trying to fix the fractures
but the cracks just spread inside
two hearts beating in the darkness
reaching out on different sides
I wanted us to make it
but I'm tired of the ache
you can only heal so many times
before you finally break
The fight is over
and I don't have strength to stay
we're both standing in the ruins
of the love we gave away
I tried to hold on
but you let go of my shoulder
now the battle's, all the crying, it's done
the fight is over
We were burning just to keep warm
but the flames consumed the truth
every sorry lost its meaning
when I kept losing parts of you
I've been bleeding
for the memory
of what used to be
loving you has turned into a wreck
that's swallowing me
I've whispered all my reasons
but they're lost in all our pain
and I'm standing in the wreckage
where the love won't rise again
The fight is over
and I don't have strength to stay
we're both standing in the ruins
of the love we gave away
I tried to hold on
but you let go of my shoulder
now the battle's, all the crying, it's done
the fight is over
maybe in another lifetime
we could have learned to hold on tight
maybe we could have saved each other
instead of losing every night
but this war has made us strangers
broken hearts that won't align
and I'm leaving with the pieces
of a love that once was mine
The fight is over
and I won't keep breaking more
you can only lose so many times
before your heart walks out the door
I remember what we had
but I can't stay any closer
goodbye to what we were
it's done
the fight is over
