Lyrics
[verse]
Hold tight in this quiet storm, just make it through the day
Scatter through the pictures, our tears, they turn to dust
Gazing down a path where our pillar once stood
[chorus]
And I whispered to keep breathing
And I whispered to be still
And I whispered to stay grounded
And I whispered to just feel
And when daylight breaks, I'll find you
But the colors will have changed
And I'm holding onto visions
While you're tangled in the chains
[verse]
I asked my love to tear it down
To sever all the threads
Right there in this moment,
the weight is so profound
My feet firmly planted
In the ground--
[chorus]
And I whispered to keep breathing
And I whispered to be still
And I whispered to stay grounded
And I whispered to just feel
And when daylight breaks, I'll find you
But the colors will have changed
And I'm holding onto visions
While you're tangled in the chains
[bridge]
Time keeps slipping through these hands
Like shards of broken glass
Every piece a broken memory
Of moments that just won't last
But I'm stronger than these moments
And I'm braver than my fears
I'll rise above the ashes
As the sunlight reappears
[Chorus]
And I whispered to keep breathing
And I whispered to be still
And I whispered to stay grounded
And I whispered to just feel
And now all our ties are severed
And what role did I portray?
And I'm fraying at the fissures
As the voices fade away
And I whispered
And I whispered
