[Intro]
Verse 1
Is this over? Are we done?
Calling it quits before we begun
Was my past too much to hold?
Did my fear make your warmth cold?
You seem so sure, and I wrestle doubt
Your gentle words, I twist about
I swim in clout, I sink in shame
Still reaching for a steady flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I fight the urge to disappear
I fight my tears as you draw near
Our voices merge, but I’m unclear
Still haunted by what brought me here
[Chorus]
I reach for security
And find obscurity
No final word, no farewell kiss
Just silence dressed in what I miss
Has this flame died?
My heart still cried
You sparked in me
What won’t subside
[Verse 2]
I own the shame, I bear the blame
It douses light, yet fans the flame
A quiet ache I cannot hide
Your love, I denied
I trace the thread of what we were
A whispered vow, a phantom blur
If this is done, then let it be
But leave the part you sparked in me
[Chorus]
I reach for security
And find obscurity
No final word, no farewell kiss
Just silence dressed in what I miss
Has this flame died?
My heart still cried
You sparked in me
What won’t subside
[Bridge]So if you go, go like the tide
Not like a ghost I must abide
Let the emotions flow
And the ache recede
Because I couldn't be what you need.
