Embers

Pretty in the dark

Just like I remembered it

So many times before

Is that the way it was?

Cause I can’t trust myself

To be anything but blinded

And I promise you I will never learn

There’s no way to be

Anything but who you are

So take all your mistakes

And wash them all away

There’s precious little time

To be hiding in the low light

So I promise you I will never learn

So when you call I’ll come running for you

And when you fall I’ll be waiting right here

There’s no other way except to watch it unfold

But I promise you I will never learn

Falling through the cloud

With nothing left to show except

The embers in my heart

Same as it ever was

And when all’s said and done

There’s a way to get what I want

But I promise you I will never learn

So when you call I’ll come running for you

And when you fall I’ll be waiting right here

Waiting

There’s no other way except to watch it unfold

But I promise you I will never learn
