[Verse 1]
Your coat still hangs by the door
Rain on the floorboards
One black boot by the bed
Like you left in a war
I read your note by the sink
My hands got to shaking
You said, "don't call, don't chase"
So I'm still here breaking
[Pre-Chorus]
And I bite down hard
On your last goodbye
But the shard cuts deeper
Every time I try
[Chorus]
Ashes in my teeth
Ashes in my teeth
I keep saying your name
Like a wound won't leave
Ashes in my teeth
Ashes in my teeth
You burned me out
Now I can't breathe
[Verse 2]
Your mug in the drain
Cold tea in the glass
I still see your ring
When the hall shadows pass
That blue scarf on the chair
Still smells like your skin
I can fake being fine
But it cracks from within
[Pre-Chorus]
And I bite down hard
On your last goodbye
But the shard cuts deeper
Every time I try
[Chorus]
Ashes in my teeth
Ashes in my teeth
I keep saying your name
Like a wound won't leave
Ashes in my teeth
Ashes in my teeth
You burned me out
Now I can't breathe
[Bridge]
Say it was nothing
Say I should move on
But your ghost in this house
Keeps the damage on
I curse your memory
Then I miss your heat
Love turned to cinders
And it's choking me
[Final Chorus]
Ashes in my teeth
Ashes in my teeth
I keep saying your name
Like a wound won't leave
Ashes in my teeth
Ashes in my teeth
You burned me out
Now I can't breathe
Ashes in my teeth
Ashes in my teeth
I wear the wreckage
So you can see
Ashes in my teeth
Ashes in my teeth
Love went down
And it took me with it
