Gonna Make It

[VERSE ONE]
I went from holding your hand
To holding on for life
Went from being your hero
To the villain in your innocent eyes
Just like that, my world went cold
All light was extinguished by the dark
Loving you was all I ever wanted
But I was forced to love you from afar
[PRE-CHORUS ONE]
And I was losing my mind with losing you
God knows, everyone noticed
‘Cause I couldn’t tell the difference
Between the noise in my head
And the truth I knew I’d spoken
[CHORUS ONE]
And every step
Left me questioning
Questioning
Was I gonna make it?
Was I gonna make it?
Make it without you?
[VERSE TWO]
I went from holding my breath
To holding an ounce of hope
You’re right in front of my eyes
Yet, it’s like looking through a broken kaleidoscope
Just like that, everything’s changing
In ways almost too good to be true
I'm ecstatic and shattered with sorrow
Learning about you and the Hell you went through
[PRE-CHORUS TWO]
‘Cause it’s hurting me knowing you were hurting
God knows, someone must’ve noticed
But I never could’ve imagined
The extent of the damage
Went much deeper than the truth I’d spoken
[CHORUS TWO]
And every step
Has me questioning
Questioning
Are we gonna make it?
Are we gonna make it?
Make it through?
[BRIDGE]
I keep blaming myself
For not doing more
I should’ve tried harder
‘Cause you were never not worth fighting for
Then once again
You amaze me
With a grace, I swear I don’t deserve
And bit by bit
That broken kaleidoscope
Is becoming our stained glass opus
The same pieces, a different picture
Just the light now pulling focus
[FINAL CHORUS]
Yet, every step
Still leaves me questioning
Questioning
Are we gonna make it?
Are we gonna make it?
[OUTRO]
Hell yeah, we’re gonna make it
We’ll make it through
Yeah, we'll make it through
