Ember


I was a red-hot ember
That you held in your bare palm
I tried… to become so cold for you
To keep you from harm
I tried… to become so cold for you
When all I wanted was to keep you warm

Feel like an old steel umbrella
A portable lightening rod
I tried… to shield you from the storm
To keep you from harm
I tried… to shield you from the storm
But my ways were old and wrong

If the world turned you to diamond
I bet you’d dream of being coal
I tried… to shine so bright for you
To show you weren’t alone
I tried… to shine so bright for you
By burning up all of my heart’s coal

Until I was a red-hot ember
That you held in your bare palm
Then I tried… to become so cold for you
To keep you from harm
I tried… to become so cold for you
All I wanted was to keep you warm
All I wanted was to keep you warm
