Title: Canyons
Verse 1:
Every time I feel your warmth, I feel the cold,
Like a shadow in my mind that I can’t control.
I see the way you’re reaching out, but I recoil,
Turning soft ground into jagged soil.
Pre-Chorus:
I build these walls to keep myself safe,
But I’m the one who can’t escape—
Chorus:
I carve canyons between us, every time you get near,
Digging deep into the earth of my fear.
I keep you on the other side, where I can watch you fall,
But it’s just me, breaking down every wall.
It’s the way that I lose what I love, again and again,
Standing on the edge of these canyons I’ve made with my hands.
Verse 2:
Your voice echoes through the space I create,
A reminder of closeness that I always break.
I’m scared of needing, of losing control,
So I cut the cord before you let go.
Pre-Chorus:
It’s not you, it’s the distance I fear,
But somehow I’m the one who put it here—
Chorus:
I carve canyons between us, every time you get near,
Digging deep into the earth of my fear.
I keep you on the other side, where I can watch you fall,
But it’s just me, breaking down every wall.
It’s the way that I lose what I love, again and again,
Standing on the edge of these canyons I’ve made with my hands.
Bridge:
I dream of crossing to where you are,
But I’m frozen here, holding my scars.
I wish I could trust, wish I could stay,
But I’ve built my heart like a barricade.
Chorus (Repeat):
I carve canyons between us, every time you get near,
Digging deep into the earth of my fear.
I keep you on the other side, where I can watch you fall,
But it’s just me, breaking down every wall.
It’s the way that I lose what I love, again and again,
Standing on the edge of these canyons I’ve made with my hands.
Outro:
Maybe one day I’ll find my way across,
Back to the love that I’ve always lost.
Till then I’ll watch you fade in the distance’s haze,
Just me and these canyons, and the choices I’ve made.
