The Last of Me

Intro

Cold light in a silent room

Ghost of who I used to be

Counting down the hours till the dark consumes

Every fading memory of me

Verse 1

I wake up to the weight on my chest

My hands still shaking from the dreams I can't forget

Every mirror shows a stranger I don't recognize

A hollow shell that learned to wear a smile as a disguise

I trace the scars along my skin like a roadmap home

But I've been lost so long I don't know where I roam

The silence screams so loud I swear it's got a voice

And every breath I take says I never had a choice

Pre-Chorus

Why do I keep reaching

For a light that fades so fast

Why do I keep bleeding

For a man that's never coming back

Chorus

Let me go

I've been drowning in the dark for far too long

Let me know

If there's anything worth holding on

I'm just a whisper lost in static skies

Begging for the peace I can't epitomize

Let me go

Before the last of me dies

Verse 2

Another night I lie awake and watch the ceiling crack

Every tick of the clock is a promise I can't take back

I buried all my better days beneath the frozen ground

And now I dig and dig but nothing can be found

I gave my heart to the ache and it returned it cold

A lesson learned in bitterness that now I'll never hold

My bones are getting tired from carrying this grief

And time just keeps on slipping like water through my teeth

Pre-Chorus

Why do I keep reaching

For a light that fades so fast

Why do I keep bleeding

For a man that's never coming back

Chorus

Let me go

I've been drowning in the dark for far too long

Let me know

If there's anything worth holding on

I'm just a whisper lost in static skies

Begging for the peace I can't epitomize

Let me go

Before the last of me dies

Bridge

I am the quiet after the storm

I am the ruin that I built at home

Small and broken

Fading like the dawn

And I whisper to myself

Please hold on

Please hold on

Please don't let them see you gone

Breakdown

I refuse to be just memory

I refuse to fade into the stone

Every piece of me is screaming

Let me live

Let me breathe

Let me finally be whole

Rise from the wreckage of my soul

I won't go quiet

I won't go under

I won't accept the grave I stole

Chorus

Let me go

I've been drowning in the dark for far too long

Let me know

If there's anything worth holding on

I'm just a whisper lost in static skies

Begging for the peace I can't epitomize

Let me go

Before the last of me dies

Outro

Cold light in a silent room

I am still here

I am still here

Mm

Mm-hmm
