It started as a spark

Then we fed it

With promises with hands that held tight

Eyes locked "I do"

But flames are greedy things

And I I noticed the smoke curling between our words

But I didn't flinch when the warmth became a warning

When your touch left blisters instead of butterflies

We called it passion fate

Fire consuming the walls we built together

Until one day I stood in the ashes alone

Your name still on my lips your ghost in my lungs

And realized through anger and rage

Love shouldn't burn everything it touches

So I walked away from the wreckage

Not because I stopped loving you no

But because I finally understood

Even love is something you must escape

You forced me to live in the flames

And I was the moth

Oh this nigga ha

He created this fire in me

Yeah I just simply wanted him to love me back to life that's it

But no

The hardest part was realizing

I should've walked out this ***** a long time ago

Yeah but I I I ignored the the signs

Yeah those flags was slapping me upside the face

But I loved you nigga

But you what? I'm alright now

I'm on my ****-you ***** **** you

Yeah it's up now nigga it's up
