Ashes

This brilliant light

That we destroyed

The final silent conversations we avoid

This ghost of us

These things we lost

We blew it up before we ever knew the cost

Underneath the falling sky

I am not afraid of heights

I knew it from the moment that we set the fire

It's the heart that burns the fastest

It's the hurt you can't imagine

And it's like we never happened

When our dreams all turn to dust

When the gold just turns to rust

Will we rise up from the ashes?

Could we carry on?

Could we start again?

Could I change your mind just one last time, forgive, forget?

Is it over yet?

Or too late to save?

All the things we had, the good, the bad, the love we made

Underneath the falling sky

I am not afraid to fly

I knew it from the moment that we set the fire

It's the heart that burns the fastest

It's the hurt you can't imagine

And it's like we never happened

When our dreams all turn to dust

When the gold just turns to rust

Will we rise up from the ashes?

We'll rise up from the ashes

Could we carry on?

Could we start again?

It's the heart that burns the fastest

It's the hurt you can't imagine

And it's like we never happened

When our dreams all turn to dust

When the gold just turns to rust

We'll rise up from the ashes
