Ashes by AEONITH - Zona

Lyrics

[INTRO — soft acoustic guitar]

I have so much to say, but you're so far away

Time keeps turning pages, and I still know your face

We had plans for the future, thought we'd grow old

Now I'm holding these memories, trying not to let go

[VERSE 1]

Never feared for anything, but I was never really free

Spent my whole life trying to heal what was hurting inside of me

I tried to fix your broken heart with everything I had

Didn't know I'd lose myself while trying to make you glad

We thought we were invincible

That's what young hearts believe

Now the truth feels cold

And there's nowhere left to leave

I got so much on my mind

And nobody hears it

I keep looking for a sign

But the silence gets nearer

[PRE-HOOK]

I ain't see it coming

I ain't see it coming

But it still came

That's just life, yeah

[HOOK — melodic, catchy, restrained repetition]

So far away, so far away

I got so much to say

But you're so far away

And I still feel the light you left

Even when the room gets dark

I can't bring back yesterday

But I'll carry who you are

[VERSE 2 — beat comes in, melodic rap]

Last call, 3 AM, I'm staring at the phone

A thousand miles from everything that ever felt like home

I tried to numb the memories, tried to bury all the pain

But every time the night comes down, I'm feeling it again

I know what it's like to lose yourself

To fight a war nobody sees

To smile when you're falling apart

And say, “I'm good,” when you need someone to speak

I had moments I was lost

I had moments I was scared

But I thought about the ones I love

And realized they still were there

So if tomorrow hurts

I'll face it when it comes

I don't need to have the answers

I just need to keep moving on

[PRE-HOOK]

I ain't see it coming

I ain't see it coming

But it still came

That's just life, yeah

[HOOK]

So far away, so far away

I got so much to say

But you're so far away

And I still feel the light you left

Even when the room gets dark

I can't bring back yesterday

But I'll carry who you are

[BRIDGE — beat drops out]

Your pain is gone

Your hands are untied

I'll miss you forever

But I'll stay alive

And maybe that's healing

Maybe that's all I can do

Keep living this life

While carrying you

[FINAL HOOK — biggest delivery]

So far away, so far away

I got so much to say

But you're so far away

Time keeps turning pages

But your memory remains

And if I can't change the ending

I'll make something from the pain

[OUTRO]

I ain't see it coming...

But it still came...

That's just life...

And I'm still here.
