I am barely sleeping
In a conscious state, I lie awake in grieving
Can you keep me believing that it wasn't a waste of both of our days?
Repeating the same mistakes again and again
I watched your soul leave your body countless times
I tended to your every wound and wiped your eyes
You were a mosaic of shattered, stainless glass
So bright and beautiful but damaged by your past
I saw the light in your eyes - the music in your heart
Tried to piece you back together when the world tore you apart
But we were never meant for the distance
Far to caught up in the fragile moments
We set ourselves alight
Self-destructive love
A heartbreak, undenied
All we leave is ashes
Fallen to the endless fight
I couldn't keep you safe
You were never on my side
All we leave is ashes
I am barely breathing
I remember the day that you turned away in leaving
I guess that even promises aren't worth keeping
If there's just no way that things can remain
The way we hoped they would - for good - from change
We set ourselves alight
Self-destructive love
A heartbreak, undenied
All we leave is ashes
Fallen to the endless fight
I couldn't keep you safe
You were never on my side
All we leave is ashes
And don't tell me it's okay because we both know better
I hoped for the best but we're no good for each other
And don't tell me it's okay because we both know better
I hoped for the best but we're no good for each other
We set ourselves alight
Self-destructive love
A heartbreak, undenied
(All we leave is ashes)
Lost to the darkest night
Forcing our fears and doubts to collide
All we leave is ashes
No matter how hard we tried
These burning flames always seemed to rise
All we leave is ashes
