The Price of Heat

[Verse 1] I knew it was a fire, just a passion to consume, But I fell into your arms, not thinking of my doom. I left behind the shelter, the safety, the shore, I craved the forbidden, and I longed for more. [PreChorus] And now the heat is gone, and what remains? An emptiness that echoes louder than the pain. I traded forever for a fleeting spark, Never knew the hurt would leave this mark. [Chorus] I chose to love you, though I knew the cost, I gave up the steady for a moment I lost. Now the cold surrounds me where there once was heat, I’ve learned the price is more than love can meet. [Verse 2] You swore it would be endless, that we’d stand the test of time, But words are only smoke when the fire starts to die. I thought the world was ours, that the clock would stand still, Now I see the ashes of what burned at will. [PreChorus] And now the heat is gone, and what remains? An emptiness that echoes louder than the pain. I traded forever for a fleeting spark, Never knew the hurt would leave this mark. [Chorus] I chose to love you, though I knew the cost, I gave up the steady for a moment I lost. Now the cold surrounds me where there once was heat, I’ve learned the price is more than love can meet. [Bridge ] And when I look behind, I see what I destroyed, A home, a peace, that I left in the void. I lived for the moment, not thinking ahead, Now I pay the price for the tears we’ve shed. Final Chorus] I chose to love you, though I knew the cost, I gave up the steady for a moment I lost. Now the cold surrounds me where there once was heat, I’ve learned the price is more than love can meet. [Outro] And in the silence of the night, the truth takes its toll, That the heat I chose was never mine to hold.
