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
