I'll pick up these embers
Of a remnant fire
Left in this world of snow
That no longer remembers
What it feels like to be alive
As they hold a dark glow
Barely clinging to life
I'll pick up these embers
I'll hold them in my palms
I'll let them burn my hands
I'll blow on them softly
Just to keep them from dying
As my fingers go numb
Black from harsh ash
As callices from burning pain
Harden these hands
I'll hold on to the embers
Of a remnant fire
That no one but me remembers

I'm a hopeless romantic
Because I'm in love
And I would do absolutely anything
Absolutely anything

But there is nothint I can do
There's no hope
I'm just romantic

You have made it very clear
but for some reason I can't hear
when I look in your eyes
no burning fire only little white lies
its so easy to see
you don't have for me
what I have for you
so if this is true
and i completely understand

then why can't I accept it?

I'm here
Listening to this music
Over and over again
I listen to the same thing
Over and over again
The same lyrics
Hoping you hear it
But I ball my hands in a fist
As i realize theres nothing left
But this playlist

Love is an infectious disease
and My heart is contaminated
i didnt know you were contagaious
so i forgot to wash my heart
its spreading through my body
from cell to cell like mitosis
white bloods cells are no help
and there is no cure for this
ive passed the stage
where it's just in your heart
It bursts through the blood vessel
and spreads through every vein.
And soon it will seep to my brain
and in the final stage
ill go blind

I no longer believe in fate
In destiny
Or anything pre ordained
Because if such a thing existed
If anything was ever meant to be
You would have been meant for me

I can't go back
To how we were
Maybe back to our first kiss
But no way in hell
Can I go back to anything before
