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
