Ember (Goodbye)
Take something you relied on
Turn it on its head
Take sweet sweet core memories
Turn them into dread
Instead of simply loving
Run and turn ever so often
You'll find I look better
Bathed in searcher's flashlights
You can keep your focus on whatever crime
Made you leave me behind
Take morning sunlight moments
Singing on your porch
Your messy head in my lap
Steel strings ring out chords
I said the things that haunt your dreams
You unravel at the seams
Now I'm across the sea
Cos I can't have you anywhere near me
Begin again
No more best of friends
No more lies from your end
No more twisting me into more of the pain
You know I've been in
No more black pen scribbling on your shelf
Me laughing and your arms reached out
Always thought you'd be the one
Holding me through my nightmares
But I held you
I held you
No "hey love, I'll be home soon"
No hugs after a stressful afternoon
No "you're sick, let's make some soup"
No "I saw this and thought of you"
Leave all your shit then paint me blue
I've fucking been there too
But I never expected it from you
The light burned out yesterday
I watched it fade
It burned bright with my anger before
I turned away
I couldn't stand to linger over ember anymore
This is my homeland, babe
You're lost now
There's the door
No path to here anymore
Turn it on its head
Take sweet sweet core memories
Turn them into dread
Instead of simply loving
Run and turn ever so often
You'll find I look better
Bathed in searcher's flashlights
You can keep your focus on whatever crime
Made you leave me behind
Take morning sunlight moments
Singing on your porch
Your messy head in my lap
Steel strings ring out chords
I said the things that haunt your dreams
You unravel at the seams
Now I'm across the sea
Cos I can't have you anywhere near me
Begin again
No more best of friends
No more lies from your end
No more twisting me into more of the pain
You know I've been in
No more black pen scribbling on your shelf
Me laughing and your arms reached out
Always thought you'd be the one
Holding me through my nightmares
But I held you
I held you
No "hey love, I'll be home soon"
No hugs after a stressful afternoon
No "you're sick, let's make some soup"
No "I saw this and thought of you"
Leave all your shit then paint me blue
I've fucking been there too
But I never expected it from you
The light burned out yesterday
I watched it fade
It burned bright with my anger before
I turned away
I couldn't stand to linger over ember anymore
This is my homeland, babe
You're lost now
There's the door
No path to here anymore
