[Intro]
There was a fire,
no one named.

[Verse 1]
I learned to breathe in quiet smoke,
like it was oxygen.
Shadows crawling up my throat,
teaching me to bend.

Fingers tracing empty walls,
looking for a sign.
Every ember I tried to hide
was lighting up inside.

[Pre-Chorus]
You stepped into the silence,
like you always knew the air.

[Chorus]
I was burning, can you hear me?
I was lost inside the flame.
You just looked and called it nothing,
you just gave my pain a name.

I was turning into cinders,
trying not to disappear.
I was burning, can you hear me?
Did you ever want me here?

[Verse 2]
I spoke in ashes and broken heat,
in colors you dont see.
Every word a fragile glow,
you never let it be.

You were standing in the doorway,
like a stranger to the scene.
Calling ruin what was left
of something in between.

[Bridge]
Maybe I was never meant
to burn this quietly.
Maybe all the fire in my chest
was just a way to speak.

And you never listened,
you never came near.
You just watched me fading
and called it disappear.

[Final Chorus]
I was burning, now you hear me,
but theres nothing left to save.
All thats left is just the echo
of the girl you couldnt face.

I was screaming through the silence,
I was right there in the flame.
Now the fire has turned to shadow,
and you dont even say my name.

[Outro]
You called it ashes,
but it was me.
