Ashes on Your Lips

Intro]

Mmm…

Yeah

Still taste you on my tongue

Still feel you when I run

But I don’t call, nah

I don’t call…

⸻

You lit the match, I watched it burn

We made a heaven we don’t deserve

We played god between those sheets

But now you’re ghostin’ in my dreams

I left the keys inside your place

You left your scent all in my brain

I wear your hurt just like cologne

And every night, I die alone

⸻

Bring your silence, I’ll bring my pride

You wore the red, I wore the night

We talked in shattered glass

Now all that’s left is ash

Bring the guilt, I’ll take the blame

But don’t pretend you feel the same

You said you’d never slip

But there’s ashes on your lips

⸻

So don’t say you miss me (not like that)

Don’t say you need me (you never meant that)

You just wanted something warm

Something broken, something torn

Don’t say you love me (not like this)

When your mouth still tastes like sin

I was never meant to fix

What you hid behind your kiss

⸻

You held me like a loaded gun

Your smile was cold, but god, I run

To danger like it’s home for me

Like I don’t know what peace could be

I fell asleep inside your war

Now I’m just wreckage on the floor

You moved on, but I still hear

That last lie ringin’ in my ear

⸻

Bring the hurt, I’ll wear it proud

Bring the screams without the sound

You said we’d fade with grace

But baby, we just got erased

Bring your guilt, I’ll drink it dry

You said forever, then said goodbye

You said you’d never slip

But there’s ashes on your lips

⸻

So don’t say you miss me (not like that)

Don’t say you need me (you never meant that)

You just wanted someone blind

To the demons in your mind

Don’t say you love me (not like this)

When your touch still burns like this

I was never meant to fix

What you broke behind that kiss

⸻

Now I’m numb where you used to be

Love’s just another drug to me

And your name’s a bitter pill

But I still crave that thrill

⸻

Ashes on your lips

Ashes on your lips

And I still taste the end of it

Even now, yeah… I live in it
