Passing Through

You came in like a shadow's call
A whispered love against the wall
But the deeper that we fell
The more I heard the echo of goodbye in every syllable

We burned like a reckless prayer
Fists clenched in the midnight air
You left me with a hollow name
But the scars you carved
Still whisper truth through all the pain

Some are storms, some are thieves
Stealing peace, but giving me
Something darker, something real
A wound that time just can't heal

Passing through, passing through, passing through
Not every angel's meant to stay with you
Passing through, passing through, passing through
But the devil in their touch leaves something true

I chase the ghost of what we had
Like a sinner chasing faith gone bad
Now the altar's cracked and cold
But the sermon of your leaving
Still haunts my soul

I wore your love like a thorny crown
Drowning slow as you let me down
But the chains you left behind
Taught me how to break free one more time

Some are curses, some are lies
But all of them open your eyes
Passing through, passing through, passing through
Not every angel's meant to stay with you
Passing through, passing through, passing through
But the devil in their touch leaves something true

Maybe heaven's just a fleeting thing
A flash of light before the sting
If love is just a temporary noose
Then I was never meant to keep you
So I'll raise my glass to the ones who fled
To the wolves who left me for dead
You were never mine to lose
Just passing through

Passing through, passing through, passing through
Not every angel's meant to stay with you
Passing through, passing through, passing through
But the devil in their touch leaves something true

Something true
