Call it

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

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

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

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

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.
