We built our hearts on borrowed time A love that burned but lost its shine Every touch was bittersweet A fire we could never keep Now the air still tastes like rain And I can't wash away the pain You swore that we would never fade But every light will lose its flame There's ashes between us I'm choking on the truth You broke every promise Then called it something new I'm falling where you left me Still bleeding for your touch There's ashes between us And I still care too much I hear your voice in every line The words we said still twist my mind You were the calm before the storm Now I'm the wreck you left behind The nights are long, the sky is numb And I still flinch when morning comes You swore that we would never fade But every light will lose its flame There's ashes between us I'm choking on the truth You broke every promise Then called it something new I'm falling where you left me Still bleeding for your touch There's ashes between us And I still care too much I keep the pieces you forgot A memory I can't erase If love was war we both got caught Now all that's left are scars and chase There's ashes between us I'm choking on the truth You broke every promise Then called it something new There's ashes between us I'm choking on the truth You broke every promise Then called it something new I'm falling where you left me Still bleeding for your touch There's ashes between us And I still care too much
