Stranded

 

Stranded

(A lone voice whispers)

Stranded forever

Everywhere I seem to go

I never knew heartbreak

Could feel this cold

We used to rule our world

Like kings and queens in gold

Laughin’ in the spotlight

With a love we thought would hold

Now the silence got a voice

And it’s calling out your name

Every memory hits different

Now you’re just a flame

(Stranded… stranded…)

Everywhere I go

(Stranded… stranded…)

Missing you the most

I’m stranded forever

Everywhere I go

Now I know heartbreak

Like summer misses the snow

We were fire together

Now I’m out in the cold

Yeah I know heartbreak

Like summer misses the snow

We once sat smiling

So proud to be seen

Living like a movie

Every moment a dream

Now the crown feels heavy

And the throne’s just a ghost

All the love we carried

Is what I miss the most

If I could turn back time

I’d hold you a little more

Now I’m dancing with your shadow

On an empty floor

Everywhere I go

(Stranded… stranded…)

Baby don’t you know

I’m stranded forever

Everywhere I go

Now I know heartbreak

Like summer misses the snow

We were fire together

Now I’m out in the cold

Yeah I know heartbreak

Like summer misses the snow

Maybe love don’t die

Maybe it just fades

Leaves a little light

In the mess we made

And if I find my way

Through the afterglow

I’ll carry your warmth

Even in the snow

I was stranded forever

But I’m learning to grow

Yeah I know heartbreak

Still I won’t let it own my soul

We were fire together

That’s a truth I’ll hold

Even in heartbreak

I found gold in the cold

Found gold in the cold

(Stranded… no more…)

Everywhere I go…

There’s a piece of you…

I’ll always hold…
