Kyros Lyrics

Ember flowing in the summer

Heavy emotions, cherished memories in mind

No more with you

Sing it to the endless feelers

Sing my sorrows on your family

Feel confused and so numb

I've seen the magic in your eyes

I've seen the beauty in your soul

But, you're not the only one

You'll face our fears as two
The two former partners will need to confront the difficulties of life and relationships alone, but they both share the weight of those challenges.

I ask no more of you

To leave me be, do as I do

Don't get me wrong

No, don't get me wrong

I'll miss those times as much as you

But you left me crushed and burned

Or are you not to take the blame

I may have been hypnotised

I gave you everything I have
The singer put their heart and soul into the relationship and gave all they could.

I gave you all the time I had to give
The artist was fully committed to the relationship and invested a significant amount of time and energy into making it work.

But now, it's no use to me

I've seen the guilt within your mind

Light in your eyes

And now I have doubts within my mind

That I was wrong to throw it away
The singer is questioning whether they made the right choice in ending the relationship, and whether they should have fought harder to make it work.

What if I took judgement call too fast

And it was simply teenage misery

Now say goodbye

Don't know you now

Know you now
