(Verse 1)
I saw you once in a burning shrine
Ash on your hands, but your eyes divine
You didn’t fear what I had become
You touched the dark like it wasn’t wrong
I stayed in shadows, I watched you breathe
A fragile light I could never keep
And when the flames took you from my side
I learned eternity could still die
(Pre-Chorus)
Time rewinds, but it’s all the same
Different lives, but the same old pain
(Chorus)
I’m the immortal fire in your veins
Burning through every life again
I try to save you, I pull you close
But I’m the reason you turn to ghost
Every lifetime, I lose your light
Every moment, I lose the fight
If love is all that I ever knew
Why does it always destroy you?
(Verse 2)
I built you walls, I called it care
Locked every door just to keep you there
But you ran free through the winter night
And I found your silence beneath the ice
I gave you worlds, I gave you gold
Painted your dreams, but I took control
A perfect cage in a velvet lie
Where even love couldn’t keep you alive
(Pre-Chorus)
Every touch leaves another scar
Every truth shows me what we are
(Chorus)
I’m the immortal fire in your veins
Burning through every life again
I try to save you, I pull you close
But I’m the reason you turn to ghost
Every lifetime, I lose your light
Every moment, I lose the fight
If love is all that I ever knew
Why does it always destroy you?
(Bridge)
So I let go… for the first time
No more chains, no more lies
I step back into the night
And watch you choose your own life
You said:
“I was never yours to save”
And it broke me in every way
(Final Chorus)
Now the immortal fire fades to grace
No more shadows to take your place
I don’t hold you, I set you free
And somehow… you come back to me
No more lifetimes lost in pain
No more love that leaves a stain
If this is what it means to choose
Then I would lose… just to not lose you
(Outro)
For the first time, you don’t die
For the first time… we survive
