From Ashes to Flame

[Verse 1]
I walked the streets where we once laughed
Echoes linger
Shadows cast
The clock ticks loud
But time won’t heal
The wound too deep
Too raw
Too real
Your name’s a whisper
Sharp and cold
A ghost that won’t do as it’s told
[Prechorus]
Can hearts rebloom
Can hope remain?
Is love reborn from all this pain?
[Chorus]
From ashes to flame
Can love ignite?
Can we rebuild from this endless night?
The pain
It lingers
But I still believe
That love might rise
If we just breathe
[Verse 2]
The photographs
They lie in dust
Memories broken
Worn by rust
A thousand words left unsaid
Hang heavy now
Like dreams long dead
But in the dark
I see a spark
A flicker faint against the stark
[Chorus]
From ashes to flame
Can love ignite?
Can we rebuild from this endless night?
The pain
It lingers
But I still believe
That love might rise
If we just breathe
[Bridge]
The stars don’t ask why they still shine
The river flows
Ignoring time
Maybe we’re meant to fall apart
To find the fire within the heart
