Weird, I typed up an in depth review but it got nuked somehow.
In short, you need to rewrite "one and only" out of your lyric. I have used it myself too often, but it really is a worn out cliche. Ember is a nice word to build around, and I would rewrite the cliche lines and refocus the song to pay off the Ember focus in each verse/chorus. Use descriptive words that are less common, and remmeber to advance the story to a new place, good or bad, in each verse and even consider switching up the chorus lines so they don't repeat exactly each time through. I think that would serve your song well.
I suggest always posting a full text version of your lyrics with your song link so it is easy to breakdown while typing a response. I had broken down several examples but clicking on your link caused a hiccup and for me to lose my post. And now I would have to go back out again to re-view the lyrics on Suno.
Anyway, some thoughts. Cliches are bummers when it drowns out the best part of the song, which is the ember thread/progression.

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
