  • It all looks different now
    But it was right in front of me
    The memories fall around
    Of everything I used to be
    Can I let it go
    When I still feel your echoes
    I watched you disappear
    But I can't make myself believe

    I gave it all
    But you were fading
    Where'd you go, all alone?
    I couldn't stay
    Another fall, through the dark
    Of the shadows
    I reached for you, only you
    There's still a part
    A part that's holding on

    Can we call it fair?
    Or was it just a dire game?
    Who's the winner now
    When I can't even speak your name?
    Caught inside the dream
    When you were reaching back for me
    Did you get lost inside?
    Or did you disappear?

    I gave it all
    But you were fading
    Where'd you go, all alone?
    I couldn't stay
    Another fall, through the dark
    Of the shadows
    I reached for you, only you
    There's still a part
    A part that's holding on

    You went dark on me
    Never tried to see
    What it's like to be
    The one who lost it all
    Did you find your way?
    Is there still a place?
    Is there a part of you
    That's holding on?
    Still holding on?

    I gave it all
    But you were fading
    Where'd you go, where'd you go?

    I gave it all
    But you were fading
    Where'd you go, all alone?
    I couldn't stay
    Another fall, through the dark
    Of the shadows
    I reached for you, only you
    There's still a part
    A part that's holding on

    A part that's holding on
    A part that's holding on Writer/s: Anthony Armstrong, Josh Baker, Mike Barnes, Randy Armstrong, Robert Douglas Graves
