fading embers

[Intro] [Verse 1] Golden leaves danced when your hand found mine, Whispers like autumn, soft and divine. Your laughter spun threads in the starlit air, I swore I could live in that moment, right there. [Pre-Chorus] But seasons don’t stay, and the colors turned gray, A slow ache where the light used to play. You promised forever, but forever withdrew— Now I’m tracing the cracks in the love that I knew. [Chorus] We burned like a flame, then the smoke filled the room, Love’s sweetest high, but the c***h came too soon. Now I’m picking up petals from roses you threw, Falling in love was the breaking of you. [Verse 2] Your words were a storm, I drowned in the rain, Silent goodbyes etched in frost on the pane. The bed’s too wide where your shadow once slept, Memories hum in the dark where I’ve wept. [Pre-Chorus] The clock ticks the hours, but time’s just a lie, I’m stuck in the echo of a last goodbye. The photos still smile, but the frames feel like tombs— A museum of “us” in these hollowed-out rooms. [Chorus] We burned like a flame, then the smoke filled the room, Love’s sweetest high, but the c***h came too soon. Now I’m picking up petals from roses you threw, Falling in love was the breaking of you. [Bridge] Do you still taste the salt of the tears that I cried? Or did they vanish like me when the tide pulled you wide? I’m a ghost in the story you’re rewriting now, A scar in the silence, a question mark vow. [Chorus] We burned like a flame, then the smoke filled the room, Love’s sweetest high, but the c***h came too soon. Now I’m picking up petals from roses you threw, Falling in love was the breaking of you. [Outro]
