Lyrics
I took a step into the fire, to light a candle in the dark
Thought I'd be the one to guide them, give their broken souls a spark
But every word I whispered softly, every hand I tried to hold
Turned into a tangled mess, of stories left untold
Chorus:
I tried to mend the shattered pieces, but they slipped right through my hands
Every time I reached for solace, it just turned to grains of sand
I wanted to be their savior, but I got lost within the fight
Now I'm standing here in shadows, where my kindness turned to night
Verse 2:
I walked the road of good intentions, thought I'd heal their aching hearts
But the more I tried to help them, the more we fell apart
Every smile I tried to offer, every tear I wiped away
Turned into a chain of sorrow, that led us all astray
Chorus:
I tried to mend the shattered pieces, but they slipped right through my hands
Every time I reached for solace, it just turned to grains of sand
I wanted to be their savior, but I got lost within the fight
Now I'm standing here in shadows, where my kindness turned to night
Bridge:
I thought my love would be enough, to pull them from the edge
But now I'm staring at the ruins, of every broken pledge
Maybe sometimes saving others, means you lose a part of you
And the more you try to heal them, the more you’re broken too
Chorus:
I tried to mend the shattered pieces, but they slipped right through my hands
Every time I reached for solace, it just turned to grains of sand
I wanted to be their savior, but I got lost within the fight
Now I'm standing here in shadows, where my kindness turned to night
Outro:
So I’ll lay down my weary heart, in the silence of the dawn
Maybe in this quiet moment, I can find where I belong
For every time I tried to help them, and it all fell through the cracks
I learned the hardest lesson, that you can't always go back
