Pulse Like Fire

Verse

Last lap around this empty parking lot

Porch light behind me fading out

Your hoodie's folded, left it on the spot

Where we used to stretch before the doubt

I'm tying these laces with a shaking hand

Every mile between us feels like miles I chose

Gravel and grief under where I stand

But my heartbeat's louder than the ghost that goes

Pre-Chorus

So how do I run from a love I can't erase

Turn the goodbye into a gold-lit chase

Chorus

My pulse like fire, burning down the past

Every step I take is built to last

Broken but I'm breaking into light

Pulse like fire, I'm alive tonight

Verse

Old gym key still hanging on my chain

Your number's saved but I don't call

Six months of mornings washed out in the rain

Now it's just me and the fence, the wall

I'm counting breaths instead of counting years

Turning heartbreak into something I can throw

Every drop of sweat replacing all the tears

Watch me turn this ending into afterglow

Pre-Chorus

So how do I run from a love I can't erase

Turn the goodbye into a gold-lit chase

Chorus

My pulse like fire, burning down the past

Every step I take is built to last

Broken but I'm breaking into light

Pulse like fire, I'm alive tonight

Bridge

Maybe leaving was the start line all along

Maybe silence taught my lungs this song

I'm not chasing you, I'm chasing dawn

Watch me build a heart that carries on

Chorus

My pulse like fire, burning down the past

Every step I take is built to last

Broken but I'm breaking into light

Pulse like fire, I'm alive tonight

Pulse like fire, I'm alive tonight
