Fading Embers

ooh..
hmmm..

[Intro]
Soft piano fades in, gentle strings hum
Whispers of wind through an empty room
A heartbeat slows where two once stood
Footsteps echo where love once could

[Verse 1]
Your words like sunset, beautiful but cold
Each promise a shadow as stories unfold
I’ve traced every crack in this porcelain trust
But the fractures keep deepening, turning to dust

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve counted the seconds, the days left unsaid
Wrapped my heart in memories where love once bled
Now the clock whispers low, “It’s time to let go”
The tide pulls me farther from shores that I know

[Chorus]
Fading embers where love used to glow
Silent goodbyes in the undertow
You held the match but refused to see
The fire you killed was the heart in me

[Flute and Violin]

[Verse 2]
Your touch like winter, it numbs as it stays
A garden of thorns in a colorless haze
I’ve watered these roots with the tears I’ve concealed
But the blossoms you wanted will never be healed

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve folded the maps to your jagged terrain
Let the rain wash the stains from my veins
The road ahead hums a bittersweet tune
A lullaby sung by a waning moon

[Chorus]
Fading embers where love used to glow
Silent goodbyes in the undertow
You held the match but refused to see
The fire you killed was the heart in me

[Bridge]
In the mirror, a stranger’s eyes meet mine
A mosaic of scars where your name once shined
I’ll sweep up the ashes, reclaim my dawn
Where the light finds the pieces of what’s been withdrawn

[Flute and Violin]

[Final Chorus]
Fading embers, no smoke left to rise
A phoenix learns how to reclaim the skies
You lit the blaze but forgot to breathe
The warmth you smothered was my final peace

[Outro]
The door clicks softly, the air tastes like rain
No turning back through the fields of pain
The road bends quiet, a melody new
My footsteps hum a hymn I outgrew
