Cracks in the Soul Lyrics

You try to hold the pieces tight

But every grasp lets something slide

Chasing dreams with empty hands

Losing ground where you still stand

The higher you reach, the further you fall

The more that you take, the less you have at all

Is there a way to stop the race?

Or are you bound to lose your place?

You can't be everything, you can't be whole

Every wish is just a hole in your soul

No matter how far, no matter how deep

What you lose is what you keep

The weight of wanting drags you down

Every gain comes back around

Mirror tells you you should see

But your own reflection's haunting thee

The higher you reach, the further you fall

The more that you take, the less you have at all

Is there a way to stop the race?

Or are you bound to lose your place?

You can't be everything, you can't be whole

Every wish is just a hole in your soul

No matter how far, no matter how deep

What you lose is what you keep

So you stand at the edge and breathe it in

Maybe losing is where you begin

Letting go, you start to see

Perfection was never meant to be

You can't be everything, you can't be whole

But you can learn to love the cracks inside your soul
