[Verse]
Pure hearts stumble
In my hands, they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore

[Chorus 2]
When comfort
And warmth can't be found I still reach for you
But I'm lost, crushed
Cold and confused
With no guiding light left inside
[Post-Chorus]
You're my guiding light

[Outro]

When there's no guiding light in our lives

When Winston and Julia meet again, they realize their selfishness, and realize that they don’t see each other the same way anymore. After this, they part ways, they are no longer in love.
