I thought I was built up strong.
I thought I would burn with passion forever.
I thought I wasn't weak.
I thought I could stand up tall.
I thought I had endless life.
I thought I was on the right path.
I thought I was good enough,
to shine a light on everything.
I thought we were supposed to be together,
until you got too close; you burned me.
I thought you lit my fire.
I thought you made me realize my fate.
I thought I would never fade.
I thought I would never break.
I thought nothing would burn me out.
I thought you would never hurt me.
I thought I had more time.
I thought I could push away the dark clouds.
I thought love was real,
until I got burnt.
I thought I resembled the sun:
bright, warm, full of life.
I thought my heart burned brighter,
until it burnt out.
I thought my darkness would never deplete my oxygen.
I thought my flame would never be drenched by tears.
I thought my classes were difficult,
I thought my three jobs wasn't too much.
I thought the smoke was from the world around me,
I thought it would never be from me.
I thought I could go back to that town,
I thought I was strong enough.
I thought I learned to love life.
I thought I wasn't going to drown.
I thought this was just a chemical reaction,
I thought this life was all set.
I thought I had a strong stance.
I thought I could bear it all.
Until I burned out.
