What Fire
I know you're trying but I
Can't bear to see you drowning
Let me be your life vest, your lighthouse, and your net
Just reach out
How did I miss the signs
I should have seen it coming
Countless times you've fallen off but I never would have guessed
This would be the last
Was it something I did or I said
That it pushed you right over the edge
Oh what fire we once yearned with
Too bright to long burn
Now the ashes are all that remain
Maybe I let go
When you needed you needed me the most
Thought that all you needed was a bit of space and time
Now I know I was wrong
Were the flames that we stoked far too great
That we didn't know what it became
Oh what fire we once yearned with
Too bright to long burn
Now I'm left with its ashy remains
Please keep rowing, please keep hoping
I don't know if I can go on further
Isn't two better than one
How could I just turn away and
Let you down, let you down
I can see you're reaching out and I
Don't know if I'm strong enough but I'll
Throw a line and help you
To the shore, to the shore
Do you even remember the day
When you promised that you'd look away
Oh what fire we once yearned with
Too bright to long burn
But you turned and you crumbled to salt
Were the dreams that we had far too bright
Or were we in too deep to see right
Oh what fire we once yearned with
Too bright to long burn
Now the ashes are all that remain
Oh what fire we once yearned with
Too bright to long burn
Now I'm left with its ashy remains
Can't bear to see you drowning
Let me be your life vest, your lighthouse, and your net
Just reach out
How did I miss the signs
I should have seen it coming
Countless times you've fallen off but I never would have guessed
This would be the last
Was it something I did or I said
That it pushed you right over the edge
Oh what fire we once yearned with
Too bright to long burn
Now the ashes are all that remain
Maybe I let go
When you needed you needed me the most
Thought that all you needed was a bit of space and time
Now I know I was wrong
Were the flames that we stoked far too great
That we didn't know what it became
Oh what fire we once yearned with
Too bright to long burn
Now I'm left with its ashy remains
Please keep rowing, please keep hoping
I don't know if I can go on further
Isn't two better than one
How could I just turn away and
Let you down, let you down
I can see you're reaching out and I
Don't know if I'm strong enough but I'll
Throw a line and help you
To the shore, to the shore
Do you even remember the day
When you promised that you'd look away
Oh what fire we once yearned with
Too bright to long burn
But you turned and you crumbled to salt
Were the dreams that we had far too bright
Or were we in too deep to see right
Oh what fire we once yearned with
Too bright to long burn
Now the ashes are all that remain
Oh what fire we once yearned with
Too bright to long burn
Now I'm left with its ashy remains
