[Verse]
Ember walks with shadows at her side
Her parents' love
A hollow
Empty ride
Words they spoke
Oh how they'd cut so deep
She cries alone
In darkness she will weep
[Verse 2]
Promises of love felt like a cruel game
Their lies like embers in a cold
Dying flame
She held the pain as if it were her due
A living punching bag for all they put her through
[Chorus]
Oh Ember
Where can love ignite?
Your fire's dimming in the quiet of the night
Tears like rivers carve the pathways of your skin
Fighting a battle you feel you'll never win
[Bridge]
The walls would echo whispers they never said
The "I love you" that lingered empty in her head
Their hands built a cage
Her heart locked away
The weight grew heavy
Darker every day
[Verse 3]
She prayed for warmth she knew would never come
Played a role of strength but inside felt numb
They looked right through her
Blind to her pain
A soul left drowning in the cold
Pouring rain
[Chorus]
Oh Ember
Where can love ignite?
Your fire's dimming in the quiet of the night
Tears like rivers carve the pathways of your skin
Fighting a battle you feel you'll never win
