Embers

I will always think of you as the light at the end of a tunnel that's boarded up.

You appear through a crack

The hue gives my body a taste of the warmth I've been forced without

And so I rip at the entrance in vain

Till I'm tirelessly pulled away

by the few in my life I require to keep me sane

I've got my friends who keep me occupied

Their humble advice: You won't get by alone

No one's foreign to the pain of letting go

And you won't get by alone

Love is free, you can't deny where it will go

This I know

I will always think of us as a fire with embers still burning beneath the wood

You can stomp on the flames all you want

But they'll burn through the night in the light of the place we stood

And thought this process of letting you go from my heart weighs a hefty toll

it's the people around me whose love is keep me whole

Yeah, I've got my friends that help me to get by

Their humble advice: You won't get by alone

No one's foreign to the pain of letting go

And you won't get by alone

Love is free, you can't deny where it will go

This I know

You see, I was just a stepping stone to take you where you needed to go

A fork was placed within our road and split us up without ever knowing so

You won't get by alone

No one's foreign to the pain of letting go

And you won't get by alone

Love is free, you can't deny where it will go

This I know
