Ashes, Ashes…
So sorry, I can't be what you need me to be right now,
So sorry, you can't be anything to me, not again,
I'm not sorry, we just fell apart and shattered, I can't tell you how,
I'm not sorry, I think things are so much better now, not then.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down,
Ashes, ashes, I'll watch you drown,
Ashes, ashes, you never will return,
Ashes, ashes, I'll watch you burn.
What are you doing to do now that you can't survive without me?
What are you going to do now that I'm out, free, living on my own?
You're not going to make it through, you won't ever really see,
You're not going to worm your way in, you won't get love, not even a loan.
Ashes, ashes, drifting to the ground,
Ashes, ashes, never make a sound,
Ashes, ashes, burning in the night,
Ashes, ashes, give you such a fright.
Maybe I'll pass you once in the street, my hands full books and my head full of dreams,
Maybe I'll manage to smile at you--poor, pitiful you--who's fallen so hard,
Just remember that I'm different now, not weak, not fragile, because it's not how it seems,
Just remember that you're banned from my life, gone, go away, get out, my heart, for you, is barred!
Ashes, ashes, lightest kiss of death,
Ashes, ashes, take away your breath,
Ashes, ashes, sealed inside a tomb,
Ashes, ashes, welcome to your doom.
