You lit the match with words that tasted like the truth A spark behind your eyes that promised something new I leaned into the glow, let it warm my guarded skin Not seeing how the flame was already burning within You fed it slow with glances, with the way you said my name A fire dressed in amber, beautiful and tame I felt the heat rising, thought it was the light of us Never saw the smoke signals, never felt the rush Amber burning lie Soft lies glowing golden in the dark Hard goodbyes hidden in the spark Amber burning lie Warming me until I couldn't see How the fire was consuming me You held me in the center where the color was most bright A perfect golden moment in the middle of the night I closed my eyes and let the warmth convince my heart That what we had was real, not falling apart But amber traps the things it loves in perfect, frozen time Preserves them in its beauty while it slowly steals the life You smiled as the resin closed around my trust Turning living love to something hardened into dust Amber burning lie Soft lies glowing golden in the dark Hard goodbyes hidden in the spark Amber burning lie Warming me until I couldn't see How the fire was consuming me Now I'm caught forever in the light you left behind A relic of the moment when I thought you were mine The flame has long since faded, but the color still remains An amber burning lie that traps me in its flames
