A poignant ballad reflecting on the emotional turmoil of a deteriorating relationship where one partner remains indifferent while the other confronts the destruction around them. This song captures the struggle of staying in a fading love and the realization that it's time to escape the chaos instead of watching everything burn.
Verse 1:
I stood by while the flames grew high,
You were lost in your own skies,
Whispers of love turned to echoes of pain,
While I watched us go down in flames.
Chorus:
But I can’t sit here and watch everything burn,
Every memory sparks another lesson learned,
You don’t see the ashes, you don’t notice the fight,
I’m walking away from your dark, empty night.
Verse 2:
Your laughter feels like sirens wailing,
In a house built on dreams that’s now pale and failing,
I know it's my fault for staying too long,
But now, baby, I’m tired of playing along.
Chorus:
So I can’t sit here and watch everything burn,
Every promise cracked, every trust overturned,
You don’t see the chaos brewing inside,
While I break the chains, it’s time to decide.
Bridge:
I feel the heat of your apathy,
Like a chill in the air, suffocating me,
I’m done with the smoke, I’m done with the fight,
I'll find my own heart in the ashes tonight.
Chorus:
No more sitting here while everything burns,
Every lesson learned, every corner turned,
You’ll watch me leave as I close this door,
I’m reclaiming my heart, I won’t take any more.
Outro:
So here I stand, with a heart set free,
Walking away from the fire you’ve left me,
I’ll rise from the ashes, no longer your lie,
This is my moment, I’m finally alive.

My song is about a relationship getting ruined. But the partner seems not to care. But i cant sit here and watch everything burn around me, and stay in the house. Its my mistake for staying when the fire started
