Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the silence, I hear my name
Whispers in the dark, a fatal claim
I'm searching for a way to break the chains
But the ghosts of my past keep on remaining

[VERSE 1]
The blame's on me, I can't deny
Caught between the bottle and a lie
I'm sinking deep most every night
I whisper prayers, but they fall flat
So I drown the pain to forget all that
Battling shadows in this barroom light

[CHORUS]
I'm not the villain, but darling, I'm no hero
I only feel alive when I'm breaking
A spark that's fading in the storm
I'm lost and I'm searching for a brand new start

[VERSE 2]
It's always empty when the clock strikes late
Chasing thrills that leave me cold
I only feel alive when I'm breaking
Look at the mess your heart has made me hold

[CHORUS]
I'm not the villain, but darling, I'm no hero
I only feel alive when I'm breaking
A spark that's fading in the storm
I'm lost and I'm searching for a brand new start

[BRIDGE]
I aim for redemption, a quiet seat
But the haze lingers past the streetlights' beat
So I spark a flame and scroll my screen
Fumbling through contacts, who can I trust?
Names scratched in haste, now gathering dust
To slow this runaway soul's machine

[HOOK]
I'm dancing with the fire, I'm playing with desire
I'm running out of time, I'm losing my heart's fire

[CHORUS]
I'm not the villain, but darling, I'm no hero
I only feel alive when I'm breaking
A spark that's fading in the storm
I'm lost and I'm searching for a brand new start

[OUTRO]
Come morning, love, you'll curse my name
Wondering where I've wandered, torn
I swear I'm decent, but I'm dancing with the fire
I'm searching for a way to retire.
