Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was struggling for air you were combing the shore
Tell me am I a broken chord
Cause I have never felt this alone before
Navigate this shifting maze
Follow breadcrumbs to the grave
I should fought for you darling
I should have held on to something
I should have fought for you darling
I was scattered like dust you were chiseled in stone
I was lost in my head you were guiding me home
Tell me what has this all been for
Cause I have never felt this alone before
Navigate this shifting maze
Follow breadcrumbs to the grave
I should fought for you darling
I should have held on to something
Oh I watched this pass before my eyes
I should have fought for you darling
I should fought for you darling
I should have held on to something
Oh I watched this pass before my eyes
I should have fought for you darling
