Powerless Lyrics

You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine
You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless

I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end
I'm left with emptiness that words can not defend
You'll never know what I became because of you
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless

And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless

What is the Meaning of Powerless?

This track is a poignant exploration of the feelings of helplessness that can arise from a broken relationship. The singer feels betrayed by their partner, whose secrets and lies have caused deep emotional pain. Despite the numerous promises made, they all ended in disappointment. The repeated reference to being 'powerless' signifies the singer's inability to change or influence the situation. They were there for their partner, but ultimately couldn't prevent them from self-destruction. This song is a powerful reminder that even in relationships, we cannot control others' actions and must find ways to cope with the aftermath of their choices. #Heartbreak #Betrayal #Helplessness
