Lyric

Quiet room

Same four walls

Every picture taken down

Just pale squares on the wall

Cold cup

On the nightstand

I trace my name in the dust

Like I'm proving I still am

Every breath

Feels borrowed

Thin

But there’s a spark

That won’t cave in

There’s a final flame

Shaking in the dark

But it won’t fade

Tiny and tired

Still it climbs higher through the smoke and shame

You can break my heart

You can take the sky from my eyes

But this final flame

This final flame

Refuses to die

I have worn

Every heartbreak

Like a dress that never fits

Heavy seams that always ache

But somewhere

Under wreckage

There’s a light beneath the glass

Fighting cracks that never break

All the nights

I almost drowned

Something small

Still called me out

There’s a final flame

Shaking in the dark

But it won’t fade

Tiny and tired

Still it climbs higher through the smoke and shame

You can break my heart

You can take the sky from my eyes

But this final flame

This final flame

Refuses to die

You tried to blow it out

With every cruel word

Every doubt

But embers learn to breathe in ashes

Glowing under all the crashes

So if I stand alone tonight

I’ll be my own

My own sunrise

Fragile hands

A stubborn glow

I’m not letting go

There’s a final flame

Shaking in the dark

But it won’t fade

Tiny and tired

Still it climbs higher through the smoke and shame

You can break my heart

You can take the sky from my eyes

But this final flame

This final flame

Refuses to die

In the quiet after cries

I hold that little light

One last flame inside my chest

Still burning

Still burning

Still alive
