Building On The Ashes

I took a match to my old life

Burned it to the ground

I destroyed everything

That I built my life around

Sifting through the ashes

This guitar is all I found

One day I started strumming

And I wrote this song down

I'm building on the ashes of the bridges that I burned

I'm searching for my new life under rocks unturned

Finding what I look for around every corner turned

Yeah, I'm building on the ashes of every bridge burned

Of every bridge burned

Took my guitar to the corner

Sat there night and day

Singing to every stranger that dared to walk my way

Then an angel saw me burning

And kissed the flames away

She told me keep on singing

Sing to me every day

I'm singing

I'm building on the ashes of the bridges that I burned

Searching for my new life under rocks unturned

Found what to look for on the corner where I burned

Yeah, I'm building on the ashes of every bridge I burned

Of every bridge I burned

Of every bridge I burned

Of every bridge I burned

Of every bridge I burned

Building on the ashes of every bridge I burned
