[Verse 1]

The coldest summer

You withdrew further

And gave a little less

You took the sun away

You say you're with me

Then ghost right through me

I'll never understand how it slipped away


[Chorus]

All I ever dreamed of

Has fled to the stars

And hides in the dark

And everyone I reached for

They tear me apart

Encoding my heart

With shimmering scars


[Verse 2]

Stonewall silence

I beg for guidance

But every vow we made

Unravelled through the pain

And if you say it's nothing

Then why are your eyes still flooding?

We stamped the embers out

I carried half the blame


[Chorus]

All I ever dreamed of

Has fled to the stars

And hides in the dark

And everyone I reached for

They tear me apart

Encoding my heart

With shimmering scars


[Guitar Solo]

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)


[Organ Solo]


[Bridge]

Was I not enough?

Was I not enough?

What still remains?

I don't wanna break

Was I not enough?

Was I not enough?

I can't start again

I carry half the blame

I carried half the blame


[Chorus]

All I ever dreamed of

Has fled to the stars

And hides in the dark

Everyone I reached for

They tear me apart

Encoding my heart

With shimmering scars


[Outro]

(Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

I can't start again

(Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
