Smoldering Thrones

In a kingdom underneath a silver moon,

I believed forever came too soon.

You took my hand and whispered,

“Stay with me,”

And I believed in every destiny.

But castles change when silence fills the halls,

Promises fade like writing on the walls.

I wear a smile so no one ever sees,

The war between your memory and me.

When you look at me,

the whole world disappears,

When you walk away,

I’m drowning in my fears.

I don’t know if love was meant to feel this way,

Like heaven in my arms,

then hell when you don’t stay.

What will be, what will be,

Of this heart you left with me?

I keep searching through the stars,

Trying to understand these scars.

What will be, what will be,

Were you ever meant for me?

If I knew how love could end,

Would I choose you all again?

What will be…

What will be…

Every midnight brings your shadow to my room,

Like a ghost that carries your perfume.

I tell myself tomorrow I’ll be strong,

Then one memory proves me wrong.

Was I your love,

or just a passing dream?

Was anything exactly what it seemed?

I gave you every kingdom I could build,

Now I’m standing where our garden once was filled.

If you called my name,

I know I’d turn around,

Even knowing I might fall back to the ground.

I don’t know if this is love or losing me,

But your memory still holds the key.

What will be, what will be,

Of this heart you left with me?

I keep searching through the stars,

Trying to understand these scars.

What will be, what will be,

Were you ever meant for me?

If I knew how love could end,

Would I choose you all again?

Then I found an ancient bridge beneath the night,

Where the river turned my sorrow into light.

I looked down and finally saw the truth,

I was losing myself while holding onto you.

I never wanted anger,

I only wanted answers.

But sometimes love is letting go When someone chooses not to stay.

Maybe every broken promise Isn’t meant to be repaired.

Maybe courage isn’t holding on,

But walking on when no one’s there.

So take the crown,

Take the castle, Take the dreams we used to know.

I’ll keep the lessons,

Keep the memories,

And finally let you go.

What will be, what will be?

There’s another world for me.

I was searching through the stars,

But the answer lived inside my heart.

What will be, what will be?

Maybe love will set me free.

And if someday I love again,

I’ll give my heart,

but not lose who I am.

What will be, what will be?

I don’t need you to tell me.

The road is calling,

Morning’s coming, And my story isn’t ending.

Once I thought you were my destiny,

Now I know you were a chapter meant to be.

And somewhere past this memory,

A new fairytale Is waiting for me.

What will be… What will be…

I guess I’ll live

And see.
