A burning fire kept us warm,
a fire resistant to every storm,
but the flames weren’t meant to stay,
the heat ran cold, ash blew away.
And lovely words got pushed aside
while frustration came alive.
A distance came close,
oh, a distance so close to us.
All I know,
is that I don’t know,
if a heart is made for this
and how a broken one gets fixed.
All affection that just died,
left a mark of wasted time
and all the memories go astray,
all the memories of better days.
hopeful words get pushed aside,
you left the darkest spot inside.
A distance came close,
oh, a distance so close.
And at the point of no return,
realizing the lesson learned.
Start building bridges over gaps,
start to forgive and to forget.
Soon the darkest day alight,
will set the fire back inside.
But the distance stays close,
a distance so close to us.
All I know,
is that I don’t know,
if a heart is made for this
and how a broken one gets fixed.
