The Fuse Between Us

[Intro] [Spoken Dialogue] "I had to- uhm, I mean- ummm, no- actually, you know what, here: let me say it like this..." [Verse 1] Your silence is the spark, it sets the air alight, We’re walking on a fuse, it’s burning through the night. You play the victim, I’m the villain in your eyes, But we’re both burning, just waiting for the rise. [Chorus] There’s a fuse between us, and it’s burning low, We’ve built a fire, but I can’t let it grow. I try to hold you, but we’re too far apart, The flame that lights us is the one that breaks my heart. [Verse 2] Every tear you shed is gasoline to the flame, I try to douse the fire, but we just play the same game. You pull me close, then push me away, The fuse is shorter now, and I don’t know how to stay. [Chorus] There’s a fuse between us, and it’s burning low, We’ve built a fire, but I can’t let it grow. I try to hold you, but we’re too far apart, The flame that lights us is the one that breaks my heart. [Bridge] I thought I could save you, I thought I could mend, But the fuse is burning fast, and it’s reaching the end. I wanted to heal you, wanted to fight, But love’s a dangerous spark when you’re trapped in the night. [Bridge - Final Line] The weight of your sorrow is breaking my spine, But leaving feels like the ultimate crime. [Outro] And now the fuse has burned, and all that’s left is ash, I tried to stop it, but the flame burned too fast. And if I’m the fire, then you’re the match, We burned together, but now it’s gone, that’s the catch. [Spoken Dialogue] “…I had to pull the fuse, before we blew it, I’m sorry…”
