[Verse 1] We put the pictures in a box Top shelf Back room Locked away Told our friends that we moved on Smiled like it didn’t ache You changed your number I changed towns Swore I’d never say your name But some nights in the quiet now It all comes back the same [Chorus] It’s still burning Under my skin Under the hurt A little red glow that never learned How to cool How to turn to grey It’s still burning In every corner of my chest I lay it down but it won’t rest Guess some fires never fade [Verse 2] I see your sweater at a thrift My fingers almost touch the sleeve One breath and I’m back in your car Rain on the windshield You on repeat We were too young to hold that weight Too proud to ever bend We signed our names on walking away Didn’t read the fine print [Chorus] It’s still burning Under my skin Under the hurt A little red glow that never learned How to cool How to turn to grey It’s still burning In every corner of my chest I lay it down but it won’t rest Guess some fires never fade [Bridge] I don’t want you back That’s true But I still light a candle for the truth of you We were broken We were bright I keep a piece of that inside [Chorus] It’s still burning Under my skin Under the hurt A little red glow that never learned How to cool How to turn to grey It’s still burning In every corner of my chest I lay it down but it won’t rest Guess some fires never fade [Outro] I turn the lights out Close my eyes And in the dark I see your face Soft as ash But warm as then Embers in a hidden place
