Embers alone

**Verse 1**

My heart is burning like an ember

Too far gone to climb out of this hole

You left me drowning in the silence

While I carried all the weight alone

You said forever like you meant it

Now your words just echo in my head

I kept trying just to save us

While you watched our love turn dead

**Pre-Chorus**

You were always blaming me

While you disappeared slowly

Every fight turned into smoke

And I was the one choking

**Chorus**

Honest, honest

Did you ever try?

You held my heart inside your hands

Then let it fall apart at night

Round and round and round

Like a song on replay

Now I’m dancing through the ashes

While you fade away

Oh-oh, whoa-oh

Now you fade away

**Verse 2**

You were always on your phone screen

Like I faded into nothing new

I kept shrinking just to please you

Guess I lost myself in you

Thought that I could never do better

That was just another lie

Now I finally see it clearly

You were dragging me behind

**Pre-Chorus**

Every word cut into me

But I learned how to breathe

Now the fire that you started

Doesn’t live inside of me

**Chorus**

Honest, honest

Did you ever try?

You held my heart inside your hands

Then let it fall apart at night

Round and round and round

Like a song on replay

Now I’m dancing through the ashes

While you fade away

Oh-oh, whoa-oh

Now you fade away

**Bridge**

Oh, oh, whoa, whoa

I was losing who I was

Oh, oh, whoa, whoa

Now I’m finally strong enough

You kept pulling me under

While I begged for something real

Now the smoke is disappearing

And I’m starting to heal

**Final Chorus**

Honest, honest

Did you ever try?

You held my heart inside your hands

Then let it fall apart at night

Round and round and round

Like a song on replay

Now I’m dancing through the ashes

While you fade away

Oh-oh, whoa-oh

Yeah, you fade away
