Only ashes Lyrics

You left a fire burnin', didn't care how it hurt me

But now you're back, lookin' for what's already gone

You thought I'd wait like the moon waits for the sun

Through all your lies and the damage you'd done

I gave you love, you gave me regrets

Now you want to fix what you couldn't respect

But baby, love ain't a one-way flame

You can't come back thinkin' it'll burn the same

There's only ashes where the fire used to be

You burned it down, left nothing for me

Now you're standin' in the smoke, beggin' for my heart

But all you'll find here are the scars

There's only ashes, baby, only ashes

You're tellin' me now you made a mistake

That the grass wasn't greener, it was just fake

But I've learned to dance in the cold night air

While you were out searchin' for love elsewhere

You left the embers to die in the rain

Now you want to light 'em up again?

There's only ashes where the fire used to be

You burned it down, left nothing for me

Now you're standin' in the smoke, beggin' for my heart

But all you'll find here are the scars

There's only ashes, baby, only ashes

Go find another fool to light your flame

I've risen from the dust, I'm done with the pain

What we had's been scattered to the wind

I've moved on, you can't start again

There's only ashes where the fire used to be

You burned it down, left nothing for me

Now you're standin' in the smoke, beggin' for my heart

But all you'll find here are the scars

There's only ashes, baby, only ashes

You thought you could rekindle the flame you killed

But all that's left is ashes... cold and still
