Lyrics: [Verse 1] Seven seconds, I can’t breathe Thought the dark would bury me Guess I’m cursed to wake again I heard heaven call my name But it never felt the same Now I’m stuck inside my head [Chorus] I tried to climb my way to you But every step just falls right through You’re reaching out, then you’re gone Like I’ve been wrong all along I scream your name into the night But silence always wins the fight If you’re waiting somewhere I can’t find Just know I’m always one step behind [Verse 2] I don’t feel like who I was Every cut just opens up Nothing heals, it just repeats I tried letting go of you But there’s nothing left to lose When you’re the ghost inside of me [Chorus] I tried to climb my way to you But every step just falls right through You’re reaching out, then you’re gone Like I’ve been wrong all along I scream your name into the night But silence always wins the fight If you’re waiting somewhere I can’t find Just know I’m always one step behind [Bridge] Maybe I’m the reason you’re not here Maybe I’m the worst of all my fears Every word I never said Every night stuck in my head If there’s a way to make this right Why does it feel so far from sight?! [Final Chorus] I tried to claw my way to you But every step just fell right through You reached out, but now you're gone Was I wrong all along I screamed your name until it broke But you're a voice I couldn't replace You were waiting somewhere I couldn't find I was always one step behind [Outro] One step behind One breath away One more night I couldn’t stay
