As I stare into the day's reflection, I see the choices that brought me here
In my silence I am fading, into the words that I never said
It grips my throat and it pulls me under, and now I stare into an abyss of doubt
Searching madly for my last mistakes (Before I’m pulled beneath)
(Chorus): Like embers burning in the night, the stars could never match our light, though all things fade away with time
And as the ashes fade to gray, I'll never turn and walk away, though all things fade away with time,
(I’ll never let you leave my side. I’ll never turn to say goodbye. I’ll never leave these nights behind)
Don't bury it all beneath miles of stone
As if everything we felt meant nothing at all
Even my regrets, made me who I am
And I wouldn't change a thing, if I had the chance
So don't look back, through the eyes of despair and grief
For the air we breathe can't flow through the winds of yesterday
As time will leave its scars and marks, as through the storm we go
We can faintly see the sunlight break through the clouds tomorrow (oh)
As I stare into my life's reflection, I see the ties that bind me to this world
Can't leave yet, though I'm by myself, I am not alone
Before my eyes, a new horizon as I am guided through a sea of light
The past is gone, although time moved on (I'll never let this go)
(Chorus)
Like embers burning in the night, the stars could never match our light, though all things fade away with time
And as the ashes fade to gray, I'll never turn and walk away, though all things fade away with time,
(I’ll never leave these nights behind)
