Echoes of a Debt

[Intro] Wind in the doorway, bills on the table, shadows grow tall [Verse 1] We started with a spark, now the lamps are running low Coins echo the promises we used to know Your eyes drift to the door, where doubt hangs on the floor I’m trying to stand, but I’m already worn and poor [Pre-Chorus] If love is a handshake, ours is slipping through I reach for your name, but it’s no longer true [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, I’m losing ground but I’m here Don’t turn away when the compass points to fear We built this house on trust, don’t let it fall apart Let me mend the walls, rebuild the heart [Verse 2] The numbers bloom like ghosts in the midnight air I count the losses, you count the reasons you don’t care Your whisper cuts like winter in the air we share I wear the blame, but you’ve got your own cold glare [Pre-Chorus] If love is a flame, it flickers and fades I’m asking you to stay, not just throw me away [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, I’m losing ground but I’m here Don’t turn away when the compass points to fear We built this house on trust, don’t let it fall apart Let me mend the walls, rebuild the heart [Bridge] I’ll weather the storm, I’ll rise from the dust If we can forgive what money cannot crush [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, I’m losing ground but I’m here Don’t turn away when the compass points to fear We built this house on trust, don’t let it fall apart Let me mend the walls, rebuild the heart [Outro] If love survives the debt, it’ll bloom again in time Together we’ll find our way past the climb
