Lyrics

You left with the cold
Didn't even shut the door
I watched the silence grow
Like cracks along the floor

I sleep with the light on
But the dark still knows my name
Love was a loaded gun
I never learned to aim

Ashes in my wake
Nothing left to save
I walked through fire
Didn't beg to be brave
Truth cuts like a blade
When there's no one to break
All that I leave
Are ashes in my wake

I don't chase ghosts
But they follow me still
Some wounds whisper
Some always will

I buried the better parts
Deep where you won't see
But pain has roots
And it grows in me

Ashes in my wake
Nothing left to save
I walked through fire
Didn't beg to be brave
Truth cuts like a blade
When there's no one to break
All that I leave
Are ashes in my wake

No goodbye, no light
Just a flicker, then gone
Some hearts burn
Just to move on

Ashes in my wake
Smoke in the rearview
I burned down the past
To make something true
I don't need answers
I don't need grace
Only the truth
In ashes I trace
