This week’s featured song from my new EP is called “fuels the fire.” Reminder: Keep checking in over the next few weeks as I give you some insight into where my songs came from. I hope you enjoy them!
Insight As many of you know, many of my songs are about my personal experiences with love, relationships, and family. I am glad to have many sweet songs that speak kindly of love – as I have been fortunate. I also have had my share of difficult relationships. This song is about the struggle and challenges that are a part of falling in and out of love.
I know, lyrically, that it is on the darker side of my song-spectrum but I am very excited to share the performance of this song with you. I do hope you enjoy it. It’s something that I think anyone who’s experienced love has probably felt and can hopefully relate to.
Lyrics Longing for breath and now the sky is getting dark and the weight of all the world falls on my shoulders. I shouldered the blame. Haunting my thoughts at night, I see you when I close my eyes. But you made these choices, the course stays the same. The box I kept is emptied out and your photograph, it fuels the fire, now.
This heat is bittersweet, climbed in the driver’s seat and I slammed on the brakes, you drew conclusions and then signed your name. I risked all that I had, now, I’ve got nothing left And the choices that I made, only fanned the flames. It’s warm where you were, on the couch, and what we had it burns like fire, now.
Maybe the answer is somewhere between… But the smoke, it lifted, and stung when I breathed. It still stings when I breathe.
I’m all alone tonight, in what I think is right and I’ve been here before there’s so much to lose in hoping for gain. An old familiar tune that I’ve been marching to (one two) My blood’s in these verses, my bones the refrain. The box I kept is emptied out. And your photograph, it fuels the fire, now.
