We watched the sky turn from grey to black
Holding a warmth we could not bring back
You held my hand and you drew a line
A fleeting moment frozen in time
The cold wind whispers what we already know
Some beautiful things are just meant for the show
You look at me with those heavy eyes
Under the weight of the dark blue skies
We were sparks in the dark burning way too fast
A beautiful bloom that wasn't meant to last
Painting the night with a gold and red glow
But fading away where the quiet winds blow
We lit up the dark just to wither away
With nothing but ash at the end of the day
But oh how we shined for a minute or two
A flower of fire then fading to blue
The smoke is clearing the night is still
The silence is heavy upon the hill
I keep a petal of light in my chest
And let the dark ocean take the rest
We were sparks in the dark burning way too fast
A beautiful bloom that wasn't meant to last
Painting the night with a gold and red glow
But fading away where the quiet winds blow
We lit up the dark just to wither away
With nothing but ash at the end of the day
But oh how we shined for a minute or two
A flower of fire then fading to blue
