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.
