Lyrics

VERSE 1
You said forever like it was easy,
like love was something you could loan.
I wore your promises like a jacket,
now I’m standing in the cold alone.

Your shadow’s still on my bedroom wall,
your name still burns when I breathe.
I tried to be what you needed,
but you needed to leave.

PRE-CHORUS
I held the fire with bare hands,
believed every word you said.
Now the mirror doesn’t recognize
the girl who believed in us instead.

CHORUS
You left ashes on my lips,
every kiss turned into goodbye.
I drank the truth from your silence,
and it burned me alive.
You left ashes on my lips,
from a love that went bad.
I gave you all of my heart…
you gave me everything back.

VERSE
I replay nights like broken records,
every laugh like a loaded gun.
You chased the thrill of the moment,
I stayed when the moment was done.

Your jacket still smells like midnight,
cheap perfume and regret.
I forgave you a thousand times
for things you haven’t said yet.

PRE-CHORUS
I was faithful to the dream,
you were faithful to the lie.
I loved you for who you were,
you loved me just to try.

CHORUS
You left ashes on my lips,
every kiss turned into goodbye.
I drank the truth from your silence,
and it burned me alive.
You left ashes on my lips,
from a love that went bad.
I gave you all of my heart…
you gave me everything back.

SOLO

BRIDGE
I don’t hate you,
I just hate the way you left.
You took the best parts of me
and left me the rest.

But I’m learning to breathe again,
even with scars on my skin.
If love is a war zone…
I survived it.

CHORUS
You left ashes on my lips,
but I’m still standing here.
Every tear taught me something
I was too young to hear.
You left ashes on my lips,
but I won’t beg or crawl.
I loved you with everything…
and I survived it all.

OUTRO
“Still standing… still breathing…”
