Cathedral of Gold 2 (versión 2)

Verse

Sixteen hours of nothing on the floor

Dust in my eyes where your hands used to explore

Your scarf still smells like lavender and smoke

Left it here for the next one, hope he knows

You said I was too soft for this world outside

Now I'm the only one standing where you'd hide

Copper light through a crack in the pane

I'm building a castle from every brick of pain

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when's it real? Is it now or is it later?

Do I let go, or do I gather up what's left of you?

Chorus

Cathedral of gold where all the ghosts are fed

Cathedral of gold that I built with every step ahead

Every scar is a spire, every tear a golden plate

Cathedral of gold where love turned to light

I'm holding it up against this dark and endless night

I'll never let go, not even when it breaks apart

This cathedral's made of broken hearts, right from the start

Verse

Your favorite book still sits on the shelf above my bed

A single rose in a vase with one stem, un-folded yet

You said I was brave but couldn't find a way to be bold

Now your shadow walks across the wall like it's holding gold

I took back every word you spoke when you were feeling low

Turned them into something that only I can know

Every time I thought of giving up and leaving behind

A piece of me found its place inside this temple, aligned

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when's it real? Is it now or is it later?

Do I let go, or do I gather up what's left of you?

Chorus

Cathedral of gold where all the ghosts are fed

Cathedral of gold that I built with every step ahead

Every scar is a spire, every tear a golden plate

Cathedral of gold where love turned to light

I'm holding it up against this dark and endless night

I'll never let go, not even when it breaks apart

This cathedral's made of broken hearts, right from the start

Bridge

Maybe you didn't break me after all

Maybe I just finally grew tall enough to stand through every fall

Maybe gold is what they called it because it shines so bright

But this isn't something built to catch your eye tonight

This is a house where I've been living for so long now

Chorus

Cathedral of gold where all the ghosts are fed

Cathedral of gold that I built with every step ahead

Every scar is a spire, every tear a golden plate

Cathedral of gold where love turned to light

I'm holding it up against this dark and endless night

I'll never let go, not even when it breaks apart

This cathedral's made of broken hearts, right from the start
