"Dying Ember" lyrics

"Dying Ember"

Maybe I'm in my head
But everything we said was wrong
Maybe I should have known
We could have made this right all along

Why are we still holding back
After everything that led us here?
I don't want to watch it disappear

'Cause we're holding back the reins
And we're screeching on the tires
But the dying ember's flame could light the fire

Could light the fire, could light the fire

Remember when we first met?
I knew you had a heart of gold
The way you let me in
Was something I had never known

When I turn around, I see the life we've made
I know we've come so far
I don't want to watch it fall apart

'Cause we're holding back the reins
And we're screeching on the tires
But the dying ember's flame could light the fire

Could light the fire, could light the fire
