I am the fire

I still feel the weight of your name on my tongue,
A bitter taste of promises you left undone.
You painted our future in shades of deceit,
Now I'm building a fortress on this empty street.


The silence is louder than the lies you told,
A story of a heart that's been bought and sold.


I'm burning down the memory of your touch,
It hurt too much, it hurt too much.
From the ashes of the man you used to know,
A ghost, then a shadow, I'm letting go.
This pain is my fuel, my reckoning.
I am the fire, you are the gasoline.


You smiled while you twisted the knife in my back,
Left me drowning in a panic attack.
But I learned to breathe in the vacuum you made,
Found a strength in the ruins that won't ever fade.


The mirror shows a stranger, but his eyes are clear.
He survived the wreckage, he conquered the fear.


I'm burning down the memory of your touch,
It hurt too much, it hurt too much.
From the ashes of the man you used to know,
A ghost, then a shadow, I'm letting go.
This pain is my fuel, my reckoning.
I am the fire, you are the gasoline.


You took my heart and left it hollow!
But I found a light I didn't know I had!
I'm not the person you created!
I'm not the person you could drag down!


I hope you see me standing tall.
I hope you hate that I don't care at all.


I am the fire...
I let it go...
I am the fire...
Goodbye.
