I don't want to burn down in flames
And say
Remember when it was just embers
And I ignored it?
Remember when I felt the heat
And I let it get away
As passion
And warmth?

Remember when the cracks in the floor
Were pretty little imperfections
And not the gaping ravine we see before us now
And long before it was able to swallow us whole
I had the opportunity to walk away?

Then would I save myself this agony
At the cost of your love?
Or would I drown myself in darkness
And lose the stars above?

Darling, I can't promise myself you'll stay
I can't guarantee at the end of the day
After all the things I've learned
I'll look at you the same

Because if I can break myself away
Before the waves drag me far in
If I could let go of my love for you
Maybe I have the chance to love again
