[Verse 1]
Under the streetlight where we said goodbye,
A coffee cup on your desk, the note you left that night.
Your coat still hangs like a ghost in the hall,
I trace the lint where your fingers used to fall.
The last text sits unread — 11:07 PM,
I replay the timestamp like a question to when.
Dragons in the corners, shadows breathing low,
Smoke in the doorway where your footsteps used to go.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every whisper lights a spark, every memory a flame,
I walk through the thunder and whisper your name.
[Chorus 1]
Dragons of the heart, rising out of the ash,
Breathing smoke and truth, I’ll break these chains at last.
I’ll fight through the storm just to hold you one more time,
Dragons of the heart — I won’t give up this fight.
(Backing: “dragons…” under the last line)
[Verse 2]
Remember how we flew, laughing above the noise,
Now the alley smells of your coat, the echo of your voice.
A vinyl skip on our song, a seat that’s folded down,
I count the little things that used to make us sound.
The calendar still marked: Our plans in faded ink,
I’m learning how to breathe again but faster than I think.
Dragons in the wallpaper, embers in the light,
Ash on my tongue from the words we couldn’t make right.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every silence is a spark, every heartbeat a flame,
I press my palm to the glass and call out your name.
[Chorus 2 — escalate]
Dragons of the heart, now breathing fire for you,
Flames that burn the past — I’ll break these chains tonight.
I’ll climb through the wreckage just to hold you close and save
The wings that we let burn — I won’t give up this fight.
(Backing: layered “dragons” rising to harmony)
[Bridge — vulnerable]
If love’s a battle, I’ll lay my armor down,
Come meet me where the ruins meet the ground.
I’ll take the heavy pieces of the promise that we made,
Fold them into something that won’t rust away.
Hear them roar — the dragons now a roaring flame,
Turning ash to wind, calling out your name.
[Pre-Chorus — stripped]
Every whisper is a map, every tear a light,
I’m following the sparks that guide me through the night.
[Final Chorus — resolution]
Dragons of the heart, wings beating through the sky,
Breathing life into the dark — bring her back to life.
I’ll cross the fire and the rain and stand where hope collides,
Dragons of the heart — I won’t give up this fight.
(Backing: triumphant “dragons” choir, then soft)
[Outro — intimate]
Through smoke and through silence, your shadow turns to light,
I won’t stop till you’re back by my side.
Just one small ember, one impossible flight,
Dragons of the heart — lift us into the night.
(Spoken, very quiet) Dragons, carry her home.
