Embers in the Night

[Intro] We moved fast like fireflies in a crowded night Tiny sparks, loud hearts, then fading light [Verse 1] You were a comet in a crowded sky, burning bright and gone in a blink I held onto ashes of yesterday, trying not to think Every laugh a silver photograph, every touch a scratched vinyl spin Now the room is quiet, but the heart keeps its glow from within [Pre-Chorus] If memories were mercy, I’d ask for more time But love moved like wind, leaving only rhyme [Chorus] We burned too sweet, too fast, too true for the night Snapshots of us in flame, now shadows in light I collect the fragments, the echoes I can hold Whispers of you in the corners of my soul [Verse 2] Your voice still floods the apartment in a wildfire of sound I walk through rooms to find where we were found A coaster with your name, a note that never ends I trace the edges of joy until the heartbreak mends [Pre-Chorus] If memories were mercy, I’d ask for more time But love moved like wind, leaving only rhyme [Chorus] We burned too sweet, too fast, too true for the night Snapshots of us in flame, now shadows in light I collect the fragments, the echoes I can hold Whispers of you in the corners of my soul [Bridge] Maybe grace is learning how to breathe in the smoke Still wearing your warmth, even when nothing spoke [Chorus] We burned too sweet, too fast, too true for the night Snapshots of us in flame, now shadows in light I collect the fragments, the echoes I can hold Whispers of you in the corners of my soul [Outro] In the hush I keep your ember, softly bright A bittersweet souvenir of our swift, bright night
