[Verse 1]
I held your name too close
Now it burns my tongue
Sweet like a blade at first
Then it hit my lungs
You said stay a little longer
I said I need this pain
Now the room won’t stop spinning
And I can’t feel my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
Love turned mean
In my chest
Took the light
Out my best
I reached for you
Found the floor
One more kiss
Then you’re gone
[Chorus]
Ashes in my hands
Ashes in my hands
I loved too hard
Now I understand
Ashes in my hands
Ashes in my hands
What felt like gold
Turned black in my plans
[Verse 2]
My friends all saw it coming
I was already gone
Laughing with a broken grin
Trying to play it strong
Every lie you fed me
Wore my face by dawn
I kept chasing heaven
And woke up in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Love turned mean
In my chest
Took the light
Out my best
I reached for you
Found the floor
One more kiss
Then you’re gone
[Chorus]
Ashes in my hands
Ashes in my hands
I loved too hard
Now I understand
Ashes in my hands
Ashes in my hands
What felt like gold
Turned black in my plans
[Bridge]
If I could pull back time
I’d leave the door unlocked
I’d let the fire die
Before it took the whole block
Now I’m picking pieces up
From the places you left scars
Tryna breathe through the damage
Tryna find who we are
[Final Chorus]
Ashes in my hands
Ashes in my hands
I loved too hard
Now I understand
Ashes in my hands
Ashes in my hands
You turn to sorrow
And it breaks a man
