Echoes of the Flames

**(Verse 1)** Where do you hide when you're not by my side? You promised me the stars, but now you're out of sight. I'm searching for a sign in the still of the night, Is it worth the fight, or should I take flight? **(Pre-Chorus)** I look in the mirror, see echoes of the past, A shadow of a smile that faded too fast. **(Chorus)** I think I've scared myself away, Night after night, letting you feed my shame. No more blame, I'm done with this game, Toss those pages into the flames. Live to die another day. **(Verse 2)** Lies, open my eyes, how long can I pretend? I’m tangled in the web that I need to mend. Why do we dance on this fragile line? Gotta find my courage, stand and define. **(Pre-Chorus)** I look in the mirror, see nothing at all, A whisper of a dream, a silent call. **(Chorus)** I think I've scared myself away, Night after night, letting you feed my shame. No more blame, I'm done with this game, Tear this place down, watch the flames. Live to die another day. **(Bridge)** Ah-ah, I can't seem to find myself at all, Lost in the echoes, waiting for the fall. **(Chorus)** I will not hear a word you say, Tear this place down, watch the flames sway. Live to die another day, Finding strength in the light of day. **(Outro)** Ah-ah, I can't seem to find myself at all, But I'll rise from the ashes, standing tall.
