Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Male]
Another plastic bottle by the bed
Lying through my teeth to stay asleep
Shaking hands
But I still pour instead
Calling it a secret
Calling it “relief”
[Verse 2 – Female]
We eat in silence at the kitchen table
He scrolls his phone
I fake a smile
Wedding ring feels like a fraying cable
Praying for a sign that’s been gone awhile
[Pre-Chorus – Male]
I swear I’ll quit
I swear I’ll change
But my promises
All sound the same
[Pre-Chorus – Female]
I slam the door
He never hears
I stitch this love
With the same old tears
[Chorus – Both]
We’ve got ashes on our hands
From the things we swore to save
Burned our bridges
Burned our plans
Still we’re standing in the flame
If we’re broken
Say it straight
If we’re breathing
There’s a chance
Two lost hearts can bend the fate
With these ashes on our hands (on our hands)
[Verse 3 – Male]
I checked into a room with paper walls
My demons howled through the TV glow
Nurse said
“Write the numbers you can call”
I wrote down mine
Stared at the phone
[Verse 4 – Female]
I packed a bag
Threw in my doubts
Keys in my fist like tiny knives
Therapist asked
“Have you tried reaching out?”
I wrote my name on a waiting-room line
[Pre-Chorus – Male]
I need a voice
That doesn’t drink
Someone to hold me
Off the brink
[Pre-Chorus – Female]
I need a soul
Who’s not half-gone
Someone who’ll listen
Past the dawn
[Chorus – Both]
We’ve got ashes on our hands
From the things we swore to save
Burned our bridges
Burned our plans
Still we’re standing in the flame
If we’re broken
Say it straight
If we’re breathing
There’s a chance
Two lost hearts can bend the fate
With these ashes on our hands
[Bridge – Duet]
[ guitars drop to a low
Pulsing drone ]
[Male]
You sat down in the circle
Eyes on the floor
I heard you say
“I don’t know him anymore”
[Female]
You said
“I hurt the ones who tried to help”
Your voice cracked like you hated yourself
[Male]
You looked at me like you knew my crimes
Not the same
But the same lost time (yeah)
[Female]
Different wars but the same old scars
Same black sky
Different broken stars
[Both]
Can we learn to stand
With these trembling palms
Can we hold the wreck
Like it still belongs
Not your savior
Not your sin
Just two strangers
Letting light leak in (hey)
[Chorus – Both]
We’ve got ashes on our hands
From the things we swore to save
Burned our bridges
Burned our plans
Still we’re standing in the flame
If we’re broken
Say it straight
If we’re breathing
There’s a chance
Two lost hearts can bend the fate
With these ashes on our hands
[Outro – Both]
Step by step
Breath by breath
You face your ghosts
I face what’s left
Not a cure
Not a perfect end
Just a battered heart
Finding one true friend
