๐ Lyrics
You were just a kid with bruises on your skin
Hiding in the silence when the shouting would begin
Your old man's rage, a bottle in his hand
You learned to take the pain, never learned to stand
I saw the fire fade from your eyes
You said you're fine, but it was just a lie
Now you're gone before the dawn
Another soul the night has drawn
I should've seen how far you'd fall
Should've picked up every call
You drowned the hurt in powder rain
Tried to numb that childhood pain
Now I'm screaming at the sky
Asking why I let you die
You wore that smile like a painted mask
Said you'd quit tomorrow, I never thought to ask
You said the past don't matter now
But I could see it breaking you somehow
I tried to pull you back from the edge
But guilt don't build a safety net
Now you're gone before the dawn
Another soul the night has drawn
I should've seen how far you'd fall
Should've picked up every call
You drowned the hurt in powder rain
Tried to numb that childhood pain
Now I'm screaming at the sky
Asking why I let you die
I light a flame where your ashes lay
Wish I had the words to make you stay
Your ghost still walks these empty halls
Every silence is a thousand calls
Gone before the dawn, lost in the black
I'd give anything to bring you back
You fought so hard, but died alone
Now I wear your name in stone
You drowned the hurt in powder rain
But now I carry all your pain
And I'll keep singing through the night
'Cause you deserved a better fight
You deserved a better fight
Hiding in the silence when the shouting would begin
Your old man's rage, a bottle in his hand
You learned to take the pain, never learned to stand
I saw the fire fade from your eyes
You said you're fine, but it was just a lie
Now you're gone before the dawn
Another soul the night has drawn
I should've seen how far you'd fall
Should've picked up every call
You drowned the hurt in powder rain
Tried to numb that childhood pain
Now I'm screaming at the sky
Asking why I let you die
You wore that smile like a painted mask
Said you'd quit tomorrow, I never thought to ask
You said the past don't matter now
But I could see it breaking you somehow
I tried to pull you back from the edge
But guilt don't build a safety net
Now you're gone before the dawn
Another soul the night has drawn
I should've seen how far you'd fall
Should've picked up every call
You drowned the hurt in powder rain
Tried to numb that childhood pain
Now I'm screaming at the sky
Asking why I let you die
I light a flame where your ashes lay
Wish I had the words to make you stay
Your ghost still walks these empty halls
Every silence is a thousand calls
Gone before the dawn, lost in the black
I'd give anything to bring you back
You fought so hard, but died alone
Now I wear your name in stone
You drowned the hurt in powder rain
But now I carry all your pain
And I'll keep singing through the night
'Cause you deserved a better fight
You deserved a better fight
