Songs I've Burned

I wrote you love songs There were seven at least While I missed all of your wrongs Thinking we were complete Now I'm Learning to heal my own heart So the flames of this fire can start These songs still hold on to your name So it's time I set them ablaze Until all that remains of that love Are ashes From these songs I have burned I wrote when we ended Songs of toil and pain Since we couldn't be mended All my attempts were in vain As I lay these sheets down on the coals I feel the weight lift from my soul And now all that remains Of our love Are the ashes From these songs that I've burned In this moment of release Emotions swirl around In my head memories rush back Fill my soul with sound Which was written on those pages The chords and the notes My heart breaks with my rhyme scheme Just like my old Casio Though you put me through hell I can't help but cry As I watch those songs burn And they burn and burn They burn So all that is left of Whatever we called love Are ashes
