Ashes in my chest

---

🎵 [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.
