Read about the 30 Days of Videos challenge here.
Today I’m one tenth of the way through the challenge, weighing in with my first original song of the series! This is a new(ish) song, about the sense of relief and freedom that can come with getting out of a bad relationship. Hope ya dig! (N.B. This video features a cute dog.)

“More Than a Fire”
Now that you’re gone, I can see the light
Dawn is breaking on this lonely night
I tried to do what I thought was right
But I give up the fight
Been holding my breath for far too long
But now I can feel the air in my lungs
It seemed like we sang the same sweet song
But my heart led me on
What feels right can be wrong
I’m not saying that I don’t believe in love and hope and “meant-to-be”s
But sometimes the thing you fear is the thing that sets you free
CHORUS:
Look at the sky, the colour’s coming back
I feel the sun shining through the cracks
I guess love is more than a fire
For a flame will not sustain
It’s bound to burn out
Falling is easy, but the landing hurts
When you’re lying facedown in the stones and the dirt
It’s hard to admit that every heartfelt word
Was just empty reverb
That my heart just misheard
I’m not saying that I don’t believe in love and hope and “meant-to-be”s
But sometimes the thing you fear is the thing that sets you free
