Ember (The Burning Down) Lyrics

I lost my soul today

And it took some time for me to feel the change

I guess it wasn't safe

But then we never really are

You said you need all of me

So what becomes of us

When the heart has given up

I just don't think I get

Strong enough for this

You shouldn't be here when I'm falling apart

Cuz this stripped down version of me is taking this so hard

You don't need to be hanging around

When the best parts of me have been broken down

And shut out

You should not be here

For the burning down

I've nothing left to give

But a sense of self and a place it used to fit

I can't say I wanted this

But then we never really do

You said you need all of me

So what becomes of us

When the heart has given up

I just don't think I get

Strong enough for this

You shouldn't be here when I'm falling apart

Cuz this stripped down version of me is taking this so hard

You don't need to be hanging around

When the best parts of me have been broken down

And shut out

You should not be here

For the burning down

We get so careless in learning and I

I'd tell you I'm sorry but I'd lie

So what have we become

You shouldn't be here when I'm falling apart

Cuz this stripped down version of me is taking this so hard

You don't need to be hanging around

When the best parts of me have been broken down

And shut out

You should not be here

For the burning down
