lyrics

Today’s the day you’ll light that match
Set fire to memories that cast you down
The rain hasn’t stopped for days
But this time you’re not gonna drown

Look at all the and dreams and souvenirs
Remnants of a world you held so close
They’re faded but still beautiful
And now it’s time to let them go

Let the flames touch the sky
I think it’s time to say goodbye
Even the brightest stars ignite and then decay
So now I’ll watch the fire die and the embers fade away

When the wind blows you’ll hear my name
you can’t turn back, the ashes feel no shame

You caught a ride on the moon
While I’m here surrounded by what’s dead
And I can never find my breath
I’m hanging in, dangling by a thread…

Let the flames touch the sky
I think it’s time to say goodbye
Even the brightest stars ignite and then decay
So now I’ll watch the fire die and the embers fade away

You can live in fantasy
I’ll hold on to what I believe
And though it hurts all of me
I just want to let go and be set free
