Shadow and flame

Woke up in the silence of a stormless night

Heart still beating echoes from our final fight

You said (love is fire) — I said, (Let it burn)

But now I’m tracing ashes with nowhere to turn

I tried to hold the light,

But it slipped between my hands

Like rivers through the cracks

We built in sinking sand

We were shadow and flame,

Dancing too close to the pain

Beautiful wreckage, we couldn’t contain

Now I call your name

Through the smoke and the rain

But love doesn’t answer — it’s never the same

Your ghost still haunts the songs I used to play

Each note a memory I can’t throw away

I rewrite the ending every sleepless night

But the words won’t change — they never come out right

I tried to paint the sky

With the colors of your soul

But the canvas tore apart

Where we lost control

We were shadow and flame,

Dancing too close to the pain

Beautiful wreckage, we couldn’t contain

Now I call your name

Through the smoke and the rain

But love doesn’t answer — it’s never the same

Maybe some stars were meant to fall

Maybe some hearts were never meant to stay

But I’d burn through it all

Just to hear you say —

We were shadow and flame,

And we’d do it again

Even knowing how it ends

Through the smoke and the rain

I still whisper your name

Because part of me lives

In the spark that remains
