Embers

Over sunburnt rooftops, city lights, polluting cars
You have a dream about the things I said would be ours
You clench me tight when suddenly it fades away
But I promise we will be okay
Your hands are so cold
A warmth I can't hold
You carry your embers in control
My eyes reek of lies
A small compromise
To keep you inside this fragile guise
We have to watch our steps, be careful where we tread
And then you wrapped your arms around me and you said
"Please hold me tight and never ever let me go"
"Or I will sink so low"
Your hands are so cold
A warmth I can't hold
You carry your embers in control
My eyes reek of lies
A small compromise
To keep you inside this fragile guise
Your hands are so cold
A warmth I can't hold
You carry your embers in control
My eyes reek of lies
A small compromise
To keep you inside this fragile guise
