Burning Heart

The air in the house still holds your perfume
But my soul today only carries your absence
And in my chest, a fire that refuses to fade
The house breathes an air that is no longer mine

The afternoon shadows stretch across the floor
Your voice has become my only guide
In a labyrinth where I can't break free anymore
Everything I touch leads me back to you
A scar I never want to outgrow

Every step you took away
Was a piece of me that bled
I watched you disappear
Like the life ray of sunlight low in the darkness deep
Don't know which way to go
My heart no longer feeds
It burns
A fire that only longing learns

You claim that love could not erase
A burning heart that's far old in embrace
I am your memory that consumes me
I am a burning heart that carries your soul

The silence of my phone
Is the weight of a goodbye without end
The words that were left unspoken
Are the kindling
That makes my spirit bend
The tears in my mind

Every step you took away
Was a piece of me that bled
I watched you disappear
Like the last ray of sunlight

It burns
A fire that only longing learns
I am the flame that love could not erase
A burning heart that sorrow did embrace
I am your memory
That consumes me all
I am a burning heart that carries your soul
I cannot erase you
For the pain keeps me alive
