Lyrics
I?m just a dying ember
Still left upon a fire long-since dead
Ah, but I still remember
Your image like a shrine inside my head
And I?ve got rumors to deny
But if you?ve got a bridge for sale, I?ll buy!
Chorus:
Been pacing the world from end to end
Becoming a stranger to my friends
Been counting on faith to pull me through
Whatever it takes, I?ll do
Whatever will ease the pain of losing you
Ease the pain of losing you
I celebrate my aggravation
Raise the flag and band my arm in black
In moments of exaggeration
You?d think I had the earth upon my back
Hats off to those who sympathize
Kindly stand aside, I?ll take my prize!
(Chorus)
I need a finish for the show
Or make another scene tomorrow
(Chorus)
