Sitting next to you
I felt like frozen fire
Nothing compares to how unaware
you felt, and how being with you was dire
Forgot how it felt to be someone
I burnt so much for no reason
You took it all away from me
to me your love was treason
I remember how you held me close
once you were my brightest light
you swore to protect me
for me you picked every fight
I know your life made you weary
and I felt for you, felt all the pain
I thought you needed me to forget
but admittedly you just weren't sane
I realized then that I had lost you long ago
It wasn't my responsibility
to save you from yourself
from lost dreams and your agony
This frozen fire got so cold
I burnt so much for no reason
I had to leave before my soul would have been sold
before entering the last cold season
And I know you beg for my return
and it pains me still to refuse
but your endless winter would never let me burn
and the fire is what I choose
