Ashes In My Teeth

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

And I bite down hard

On your last goodbye

But the shard cuts deeper

Every time I try

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

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

And I bite down hard

On your last goodbye

But the shard cuts deeper

Every time I try

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

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

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
