Ashes (Part 2)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I guess now this is how the story ends

I lost my lover and I lost a friend

Lord, help me now

Life will never be the same again

Our last first kiss going up in flames

With no way out

I've been shakin', takin', fakin' it to escape

But life on the ceiling, losing feelin'

Is not the best place

'Cause I can remember when we held the world in our hands (yeah)

We were everything, two names on a beating heart

We lived our life while the others were making plans (yeah)

We held every breath and made every day our last

We burned like fire, now everything's turned to ashes (to ashes, to ashes)

We burned like fire, now everything's turned to ashes (to ashes, to ashes)

I wanna sing (sing) like we did back then

So out of place, yeah, we didn't fit in

Dancing like we were the only one's high

Never again will I feel so alive

Wanna drink (drink), you'd only have champagne

Get out my face (face), I'm seeing yours again

Spinning around like you're there in my arms

I'm keeping your memory alive

'Cause I can remember when we held the world in our hands (yeah)

We were everything, two names on a beating heart

We lived our life while the others were making plans (yeah)

We held every breath and made every day our last

We burned like fire, now everything's turned to ashes

We burned like fire, now everything's turned to ashes

Oh, come on!

You were taken from me, but I can still see that smile

And I know that you tell me move on, but it's takin' a while

I find myself laughing at things you would say

And how through the bad times, you'd say it's okay

You're living in me now, and that's where you'll stay

I'll always remember when we held the world in our hands (yeah)

We were everything, two names on a beating heart

I'll miss you forever when no one else understands (yeah)

I'll hold every breath and save everything that was ours

We burned like fire, now everything's turned to ashes (oh)

We burned like fire, now everything's turned to ashes

To ashes, to ashes, to ashes

Oh
