Embers

Rosegarden Funeral Party

Compositor: Leah Lane

Burning, I'm still burning
What a strange power
You have over me
Fire, I'm made from fire
I hate myself
For feeling everything

So deeply

I did it again
I let you in
I swore this wouldn’t happen
You tore me apart again
In a strange room like you always do

Do you ever stop to think about
Who you’re hurting?
When the lights have all gone out
In the morning

Embers, I'm only embers
I lost myself to you
And I think you know that too
Burning, I'm still burning
Punishing myself
For all the love I felt

So deeply

I did it again
I let you in
I swore this wouldn’t happen
You tore me apart again
In a strange room like you always do

Do you ever stop to think about
Who you’re hurting?
When the lights have all gone out
In the morning

And they’ll send me to hell for this
They could never understand
And they would never attempt
I left heaven for this
All your promises were lies
How could I have been so blind?

Oh, your blue eyes
Your beautiful eyes
Promising lies
And a poisoned promise
