[Intro] By the time you feel this warmth, The fire that made it might be out. [Verse 1] I’m standing near a dying ember, Heat that lingers, source long spent. It burns here through the quiet patience, Stayed behind after you went. Maybe that’s what love becomes too — A warmth still reaching, flame long dead. I keep receiving what you started Years after the fire fled. [Pre-Chorus] The coal don’t know the fire’s out. The scar don’t know the wound has closed. [Chorus] I’m holding heat. It’s already gone. But warmth like this Keeps travelling on. Nothing lasts — Yet nothing fully leaves. It just glows on without you, Arriving while you grieve. [Verse 2] Ashes remember every fire That built them up and burned them down, Reshaped a little every time, Never quite the same again. I am the coal that keeps on holding, You are the flame always gone. And still the shape of you keeps glowing Into everything I’ve become. [Bridge] Nothing stays. But nothing fully disappears. It just outlives Its reason for burning.
