Burning Embers Lyrics

Kendall Payne Burning Embers

Were we ready, who’s to say the answer?
Who is ever ready for these things?
No one could prepare us for the laughter
No one could prepare us for the pain

You feel like burning embers
You feel like coming home
You feel like my forever
And that’s all I need/want/have to know

Every night I ask for your forgiveness
In grown up skin I still act like a child
I can make believe that I am flawless
You’re close enough to see the cracks I hide

You have caused me tears of joy relentless
I cannot now imagine life without
I owe you more than humble words could confess
I love you more than I even know how

You feel like burning embers
You feel like coming home
You feel like my forever
And that’s all I need to know

You feel like Christmas morning
You feel like summer rain
You feel like holy waters
That rinse away my stains

You feel like children singing
You feel like midnight calm
You feel like breathing deeply
Until the storm is gone
