This song is about losing someone, and how we are the part that holds onto them even when they are gone
[Verse 1]
It all looks different now
But it was right in front of me
The memories fall around
Of everything I used to be
Can I let it go
When I still feel your echoes
I watched you disappear
But I can’t make myself believe
[Chorus]
I gave it all
But you were fading
Where’d you go, all alone?
I couldn’t stay
Another fall, through the dark
Of the shadows
I reached for you, only you
There’s still a part
A part that’s holding on
[Verse 2]
Can we call it fair?
Or was it just a dire game?
Who’s the winner now
When I can’t even speak your name?
Caught inside the dream
When you were reaching back for me
Did you get lost inside?
Or did you disappear?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You went dark on me
Never tried to see
What it’s like to be
The one who lost it all
Did you find your way?
Is there still a place?
Is there a part of you
That’s holding on?
Still holding on?
I gave it all
But you were fading
Where’d you go, where’d you go?
[Chorus]
