Fading Embers

[Intro] [Verse 1] The room’s too quiet, the walls too thin, Your ghost still lingers where the light gets in. I trace the shadows where your laugh once grew, A silent movie only I review. [Pre-Chorus] The piano hums a broken rhyme, A melody we lost to time. I whisper words I should’ve said, Now they’re just echoes in my head. [Chorus] Oh, these fading embers of us burn slow, A love that’s half alive, half letting go. I hold the ashes of what we became— A firework without a flame. [Verse 2] The rain taps codes on windowpanes, A language only we explained. Your old t-shirt’s my evening coat, Still smells of hope, still clings to smoke. [Pre-Chorus] The keys repeat what I can’t say, A minor chord to fade away. I carve my heart in every line, But the ink runs dry before it’s mine. [Chorus] Oh, these fading embers of us burn slow, A love that’s half alive, half letting go. I hold the ashes of what we became— A firework without a flame. [Bridge] Was it the silence? Was it the noise? The quiet wreckage of a thousand joys. If time’s a thief, why’s it so kind? Leaving the scars but stealing the why. [Chorus] Oh, these fading embers of us burn slow, A love that’s half alive, half letting go. I hold the ashes of what we became— A firework without a flame. [Outro]
