Embers

Burning, I’m still burning

What a strange power

You have over me

Fire, I’m made from fire

I hate myself

For feeling everything

So deeply

I did it again

I let you in

I swore this wouldn’t happen

You tore me apart again

In a strange room like you always do

Do you ever stop to think about

Who you’re hurting

When the lights have all gone out

In the morning

Embers, I’m only embers

I lost myself to you

And I think you know that too

Burning, I’m still burning

Punishing myself

For all the love I felt

So deeply

Oh, so deeply

I did it again

I let you in

I swore this wouldn’t happen

You tore me apart again

In a strange room like you always do

Do you ever stop to think about

Who you’re hurting

When the lights have all gone out

In the morning

And they’ll send me to hell for this

They could never understand

And they would never attempt

I left Heaven for this

All your promises were lies

How could I have been so blind

Oh your blue eyes

Your beautiful lies

Promising lies

And a poisoned promise
