V1.
I’d been hanging on a bit too tight
It was time to let you go
I put pen to paper
And just let my feelings flow
All the disappointments (maybe rise this section almost like a pre-chorus)
Lost time and all the pain
Just got it out once and for all
So I don’t go there again
Chorus (we could possibly double time the choruses to stand out)
Into the fire I drop you in
And watch your memory die
Up in flames just like our love
I finally said goodbye
There’s freedom in the rising smoke
Pain makes it burn brighter
I’ll stare you down here one last time
Disappear into the fire
V2.
I didn’t stir the ashes
Didn’t stomp the coals
I just turned and walked away
And let the moment cleanse my soul (emotional rise, hold)
Chorus
Into the fire I drop you in
And watch your memory die
Up in flames just like our love
I finally said goodbye
There’s freedom in the rising smoke
Pain makes it burn brighter
I’ll stare you down here one last time
Disappear into the fire
Bridge (draw this out with longer ending notes for each line to stand out musically)
The fire put you where you belong
And now you’re memory’s finally gone
Chorus
Into the fire I drop you in
And watch your memory die
Up in flames just like our love
I finally said goodbye
I felt freedom in the rising smoke
The pain makes it burn brighter
I’ll stare you down here one last time
Disappear into the fire
