Between Ruins Songtext
von All We Hold

I built it slow with tired hands
Late nights, broken plans
Every win felt short-lived
Every loss I couldn′t stand

I called control a state of mind
But fear was at the wheel
I kept believing I was strong
While hiding how I feel

I held on longer than I should
Tried to be the one
You don't save a burning house
By staying till it′s gone

I lost myself trying to save it
Three years, heart of stone
I didn't fail, I didn't make it
I just stood there on my own


Then one call broke through silence
Like a switch I′d never known
I didn′t win, I didn't break
But the sun came back on

There′s a kind of loss that stays
Long after it's gone
No disaster, no parade
Just your name stripped from the song

I watched my confidence wear thin
Like names washed off in rain
Still something in the wreckage said
You don′t rebuild from shame

I laid the armor on the floor
Admitted I was done
Sometimes losing what you built
Is how you find the one

I lost myself trying to save it
Three years, heart of stone
I didn't fail, I didn′t make it
I just stood there on my own


Then one call broke through silence
Like a switch I'd never known
I didn't win, I didn′t break
But the sun came back on

I′m not proud of how I bent
Or the nights I spent afraid
But I'm done with paying interest
On mistakes I already paid

I am more than what collapsed
More than what is gone
I′m not fixed, I'm not finished
But I′m moving on

I lost myself trying to save it
Three years, heart of stone
I didn't fail, I didn′t make it
But I made it back home

Yeah one call broke through silence
Turned the dark into a dawn
I didn't win, I didn't break
But the sun came back on

I don′t need another win
Just to let the light come in
