Lyric

The wind before dawn, it shakes the town awake

The scent of the smoke, the past begins to ache

A light still lingers in your old room, I see

Your smile from back then, waiting there for me

"Have you been well?" my voice begins to quake

A burning heat inside, a heart about to break

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry," I cried in the dark

In my dreams, you were there, leaving your mark

Even though my left wrist was gone from the frame

You reached out your arm, and you whispered my name

As the city burned down, and everything turned to dust

Your words were a quiet rain, a bond of trust

"It’s okay now," you faded, so gentle and kind

Answering my voice, leaving the sorrow behind

What I couldn't protect in those days long ago

Still burns in my chest, with a steady, haunting glow

The way that you laughed, the way that you cried

Everything remains, scorched deep inside

If I could say "Thank you," just once before I go

Maybe the weight in my heart would finally let go

At the end of the dream, you smile through the haze

"Let’s live on," you said, through the remaining days

The morning light stings, and I open my eyes

I call out your name to the empty skies

The love left in the ruins, still burning so true

With a heat that won’t fade, calling out for you
