We Tried To Force Sparks Out Of Ashes

We kept trying to reignite something
That no longer burned inside
The dream we once carried felt alive
But somewhere it faded, it quietly died
We held on, afraid to see
What was gone was gone, not meant to be
We tried to force sparks out of ashes
Chasing smoke where no flame could rise
Some things aren't meant to be revived
They're meant to be rebuilt, or left behind
The burden of yesterday pulled us under
Searching for warmth in the cold
Every touch became a reminder
Of a fire we could not hold
We held on, afraid to see
What was gone was gone, not meant to be
We tried to force sparks out of ashes
Chasing smoke where no flame could rise
Some things aren't meant to be revived
They're meant to be rebuilt, or left behind
Maybe love is not about holding tight
But knowing when to let it die
To build anew on solid ground
Or walk away without goodbye
We tried to force sparks out of ashes
Chasing smoke where no flame could rise
Some dreams are better left in silence
To be rebuilt or left behind
