Tame the Flame

Промпт

Intro Midnight on my shoulders, ashes in my breath, I’m still learning how to live with what you left. Verse 1 (Part 1) I’m trying, but my skin is burning like a flame, Winter on the pavement, summer in my veins. I flinch at every echo that’s shaped like your name, Like love was just a spark that came with hidden blame. I’m walking through the places where we dressed up pain, Turning little moments into magazines and frames. Now every “I miss you” feels haunted and fake, And every sweet memory is a bruise that wakes. Pre-Chorus Leave me from my memories of kiss and fame, From crowded rooms where I still feel ashamed. If staying means I’m stuck inside the same old chain, Isn’t it better I leave… and learn to tame? Chorus I don’t want your love if it’s only blame, I don’t want your warmth if it feels the same. I’m tired of burning just to light your name, So I’ll walk through the fire, let it make me sane. You can keep the spark, you can keep the claim— I’ll keep my peace, I’ll tame the flame. Verse 2 (Part 2) I tried to be the hero in your perfect scene, Smiling for the cameras while you shattered me. You held me like a promise, then you let me fall, And called it “growing up” like it meant nothing at all. Now I’m hearing all the things I couldn’t say, How your love was a storm with a pretty face. I gave you my tomorrow, you spent it in a night, Left me chasing after you in red and blue lights. Pre-Chorus (variation) So leave me from the habit of your voice in my head, From the “almost” and the “maybe” and the words we never said. If I keep forgiving, I’ll keep bleeding the same, Isn’t it better I leave… and learn to tame? Chorus I don’t want your love if it’s only blame, I don’t want your warmth if it feels the same. I’m tired of burning just to light your name, So I’ll walk through the fire, let it make me sane. You can keep the spark, you can keep the claim— I’ll keep my peace, I’ll tame the flame. Bridge Maybe I was gasoline, maybe you were the match, Maybe we were too broken to ever make it last. But I’m done being chosen only when you feel alone, Done being a shelter you can visit, then go. I’ll miss the way it started, not the way it became, Not the aftertaste of love that only brings me shame. If your heaven needs my suffering to stay bright, Then I’ll find my morning in the middle of the night. Final Chorus (bigger ending) I don’t want your love if it’s only blame, I don’t want that heat if it hurts the same. I’m tired of burning just to light your name, So I’ll walk through the fire, let it make me brave. You can keep the kiss, you can keep the fame, You can keep the story where I’m the one to blame— I’ll keep my peace, I’ll break the chain, I’ll leave… and I’ll tame the flame. Outro I’m trying—and the burning fades, Winter turns to quiet… when I walk away.
