I see the pain in her eyes, the quiet storms I left inside

Every tear that traced her skin, a scar I carved, a love I dimmed

She was light, but I was rain, pouring down, drowning flames

And still, she whispered, "You're not lost, you're not to blame"

But I was—oh, I was—

The weight she bore, the storm she crossed

A shadow etched upon her glow

How could I not have known?

Ashes, ashes, falling down

Memories burned into the ground

She gave me warmth, I gave her cold

Now I'm just a ghost in stories told

I called her cruel, I cursed her name

While she just took the endless blame

I fed the fire, watched it rise

Never saw the pain behind her eyes

But I was—oh, I was—

The weight she bore, the storm she crossed

A shadow etched upon her glow

How could I not have known?

Ashes, ashes, falling down

Memories burned into the ground

She gave me warmth, I gave her cold

Now I'm just a ghost in stories told

If I could turn the hands of time

Undo the hurt, unwrite the crime

Would she still believe in me?

Or am I just a bitter dream?

Ashes, ashes, dust and bone

Regret’s the only love I’ve known

She was light, and I was rain

And now I'm left with only pain

(Fading out)

Ashes... ashes... falling down...
