Burned Harder Than We Thought

We laid our armor down upon the floor

Said we’d fight the shadows,

said we wouldn't run no more

Tom, we promised we could fix the pieces we had broken

But the heavy silence echoed every word we left unspoken

We tried to build a shelter from the storm we couldn't tame

But every time we reached out,

we just caught the flame

Two lovers in the trenches,

fighting demons in the night Trying

to find

a spark to bring us back into the light We swore that

we could heal it,

we gave it all we've got

But the pain from the past burned harder than we thought Yeah,

the pain from the past burned harder than we thought

I’ve been carrying this heavy grief,

trying not to pull away

We’ve been tangled in these ashes since we fell apart in May

My Gemini heart is spinning,

pulling in a hundred ways Searching for the sunlight through the smoke

and through the haze

We thought our love was water,

thought it could put out the fire

But we're just walking barefoot on a burning,

broken wire

We wanted a revival,

we wanted to be saved But the fire of the memories swallowed

everything we braved

Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t holding on so tight It’s knowing when

the flames are too dangerous to fight

We stared into the fire,

trying to rewrite history But the ghosts that we were fighting wouldn't

let us be

Two lovers in the trenches,

fighting demons in the night Trying to find a spark to bring

us back into the light We swore that we could heal it,

we gave it all we've got

But the pain from the past burned harder than we thought Yeah,

the pain from the past burned harder than we thought

Harder than we thought.

The embers still glow,

but it hurts to hold on.

Fighting the demons until the dawn.

We gave it everything we had...

But it burned harder than we thought.
