Only An Ember

Where there was once a fire

There is only an ember.

Where there was once the sound of a crackling fire.

There is silence.

There was a time when my heart made a spark

When I saw you,

But now my heart stays steady, and I don’t know what to do.

Baby, I don’t want this love for you to go away.

But the lack of time and care is causing it to dissipate.

What was once a fire that burned so strong

Has slowly become calm.

It’s Down to an ember, so

I try and remember what you promised

So that I can hold on.

Hold onto that spark

That first ignited between us.

But there’s only so long I can wait for you to fan the flame of our love.

Every fire needs care and attention to keep burning.

That’s what it needs

To keep us warm.

There was a time when your words could keep it going,

But those words don’t hold weight anymore.

The fire is an ember and becoming ash.

I’m holding on cause I don’t want that,

But I’ve passed the fan to you.

Baby, I don’t want this love for you to go away.

But the lack of time and care is causing it to dissipate.

What was once a fire that burned so strong

Has slowly become calm.

It’s Down to an ember, so

I try and remember what you promised

So that I can hold on.

Hold onto that spark

That first ignited between us.

But there’s only so long I can wait for you to fan the flame of our love.

It’s only a matter of time

Before the ember turns to ash.

Its only a matter of time

Where there was love becomes the past.

Baby, you hold the fan.

It’s in your hands.

Baby, I don’t want this love for you to go away.

But the lack of time and care is causing it to dissipate.

What was once a fire that burned so strong

Has slowly become calm.

It’s Down to an ember, so

I try and remember what you promised

So that I can hold on.

Hold onto that spark

That first ignited between us.

But there’s only so long I can wait for you to fan the flame of our love.
