The bottom of a nearly empty jar I scrape and tap to remember who you are And the black and white soft focus memory Of who we were and who we thought wed be The avalanche of years and circumstance The way that weve forgotten how to dance Nicely framed and smiling next to me Is breaking me down Because you always, because you never That raging fire is now an ember And the lights are dimming slowly Will you ever see? Because you always, because you never Will you ever notice me? I knew your smile before I knew your name I knew our love before I knew our pain I thought we were the exception to the rule But its breaking me down Because you always, because you never That raging fire is now an ember And the lights are dimming slowly Will you ever see? Because you always, because you never Because you always, because you never That raging fire is now an ember And the lights are dimming slowly
dimming, ember, raging, slowly, always
