Lyrics

We didn't break all at once
We burned slow over time
Turned warm words into silence
And called it doing fine
I kept reaching through the smoke
Trying to find what we had
But all that love we used to hold
Was fading into black
I stayed long after the fire died
Holding on to what survived
Now it's just ashes (ashes)
All the love we couldn't save
Every promise, every dream
Just scattered in the gray (in the gray)
Just ashes
Where something beautiful once stood
We had something real between us
But we lost it for good (for good)
I remember how it felt
When we still believed in us
Back when every broken moment
Didn't feel like too much
But something changed between the lines
Something neither one could name
And we kept pretending nothing burned
While feeding every flame
We let it fall, we let it fade
Now there's nothing left to save
Now it's just ashes (ashes)
All the love we couldn't save
Every promise, every dream
Just scattered in the gray (in the gray)
Just ashes
Where something beautiful once stood
We had something real between us
But we lost it for good (for good)
I ain't angry, I ain't loud
I just see it clear right now
Some things don't survive the truth
No matter how you try
And I don't hate what we were
It just ain't what it became
Sometimes love don't leave you whole
It just leaves a different name
Now it's just ashes (ashes)
But I'm stronger than the flame
What we lost don't define me
I walked out of the pain (out the pain)
Just ashes
And I finally understand
Some fires don't last forever
They just teach you who you are
When they end
