Ashes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She liked for me who she wanted me to be Using TV screens and DVDs To try and ease the creaks between these dreams We sold to each other with some free deceit Please keep the receipt I know that you're really not who you try to be, I guess I fell in what I thought was love To a person whose truth was a lie to me And I believe shit wasn't always like this So much distance between us, now I guess My thoughts finally have enough room to digress And digest the time spent with you in my head Maybe I'm fuckin' crazy, man I've never been with a better person But I gave my heart for love And in return, I got sent the synthetic version Yeah, am I an asshole for making this? Truth is, this ain't a breakup song This a makeup song, taken way too long Don't wanna play or move on, I wanna stay with you long Yeah, yeah Wanna stay with you long Yeah [Verse 2] After one year, we're more of strangers than ever We've grown to be stranger together Like two randomers who take the bus everyday And the only conversation is like statin' the weather Every date we had was almost a first date But we already stolen second and third base I met you like nine-thousand times now And I found that I've drowned in your eyes so many times now That I learned how to breathe underwater But I ain't gone for a swim in a while now Shit changed, and I'm switchin' my style now No MTV bullshit, I ain't Wild 'N Out Writin' it all out, seeing my thoughts just fall out Wanna call out, but I- but I gotta drop out Yeah [Chorus] Do you remember how those sparks we imagined Turned to shit burnin' brighter than some stars everlastin'? But all I see is the ashes A cremated love, ain't no need for a casket [Post-Chorus] So please just hand me a few matches I've seen it resurrect before like Jesus' magic But all I see is the ashes A cremated love, ain't no need for a casket [Verse 3] Found a new girl from a new world And I know that is startin' nice And just because it's part of life doesn't mean that it ain't hard to bite Cliché while I'm followin' the archetype Turnin' on the lights in the dark of night Tryna make it all alright, for some reason, it ain't hard to write I didn't even get to call her twice I never even tried to start a fight, yeah Disregard the dreams that I had Mixin' all with the scenes with the bad, I can't even see what we had All I know is that it's not, "What piece in the trash?" It's the peace in the trash, yeah [Chorus] Do you remember how those sparks we imagined Turned to shit burnin' brighter than some stars everlastin'? But all I see is the ashes A cremated love, ain't no need for a casket [Outro] Yeah A cremated love Ain't no need for a casket Yeah
