🎵 [Intro – Soft vocals, echoing synths]
I gave you gold when I had rust
Opened the door, let in the dust
You smiled with a knife in hand
Now I'm bleeding where I used to stand
---
🎶 [Verse 1]
You called me late, said you missed my voice
Said forever like it was a choice
I held your demons, I kissed your scars
While you were out chasing other hearts
I played fool to your pretty lies
You wore guilt like a cheap disguise
And I kept loving through the noise
While you turned love into a ploy
---
🔥 [Pre-Chorus]
You said, “No secrets,”
But hid the truth so well
Now all I see
Is the heaven you made into hell
---
💥 [Chorus – Emotional, layered vocals]
Now there's ashes in my chest,
Where your fire used to rest
I burned for you, I begged for less
But you fed me pain and called it blessed
You were the blade, I held you close
Betrayed by the one I loved the most
Now I’m drowning in this mess
Ashes in my chest… ashes in my chest
---
🎶 [Verse 2]
You kissed me soft with poison lips
Dripped your lies in honey sips
I was blind, I was deaf, I was yours
You were love wrapped in war
I saw the signs, I looked away
Ignored the games you used to play
But baby snakes shed skin, not soul
You fooled the world, but I know
---
🔥 [Pre-Chorus]
You swore you'd never run,
But left me in the flood
Now my hands shake
While yours are stained in blood
---
💥 [Chorus – Repeat with vocal ad libs]
Now there's ashes in my chest,
Where your fire used to rest
I burned for you, I begged for less
But you fed me pain and called it blessed
You were the blade, I held you close
Betrayed by the one I loved the most
Now I’m drowning in this mess
Ashes in my chest… ashes in my chest
---
🎤 [Bridge – Slowed down, minimal instrumental]
What do I do with all this ruin?
Built a home in you, now I’m movin’
Through the wreckage of a love you killed
All that’s left is a ghost you filled
You smiled as I shattered slow
And now I’m gone—but you still glow
---
🔥 [Final Chorus – Strong, with harmonies]
Ashes in my chest,
No more breath, just regret
You danced while I wept
Loved me wrong and then you left
You were the flame, I was the spark
But you lit the dark and broke my heart
Now there’s nothing left to confess…
Just ashes in my chest
---
🕯️ [Outro – Whispered, fading out]
Ashes… ashes…
And you didn’t even flinch.
