[Verse 1]
[Male]
Found your hoodie
In the back of his car
Same cheap perfume
On my leather and scars
Every laugh that we shared
Twists like a knife in my spine
You said "it was nothing"
While you crossed that line
[Female]
I hear your silence
Louder than you ever scream
You look right through me
Like I’m some bad dream
I broke what we built
On a drunk
Stupid night
I’m choking on sorry
While you sharpen goodbyes
[Pre-Chorus]
[Male]
Was I not enough
Or was he just closer
You shattered our picture
And framed him over my shoulders
[Female]
If hating me helps you
Then tear me apart
I’m here in the wreckage
With my hands and my heart
[Chorus]
[Both]
These are the ashes of our trust
Black in my lungs
Cut deep in my gut
You say my name
And it tastes like rust
Can we kill this ghost
Or are we both just dust
[Male]
I see you crying
But I can’t un-see that bed
[Female]
You’re my favorite person
And the voice in my head
[Both]
These are the ashes of our trust
Tell me is love
Ever worth this much blood
[Verse 2]
[Male]
He was my brother
Now he’s just a stain on the floor
Drank from my glass
Then he kicked in the door
Every memory with you
Feels like it’s wearing his face
I claw at my skin
Trying to scrape off his name
[Female]
I hate that his shadow
Still hangs in our room
I ripped down the photos
Left the nail marks for you
If you stay
If you leave
I won’t beg
I won’t lie
Just tell me the truth:
Are we living or just keeping alive
[Pre-Chorus]
[Male]
Do I hold your hand
Or do I hold a grudge
I’m a jury of one
I can’t reach a verdict
[Female]
I don’t want redemption
I just want a chance
You can keep your vengeance
I’ll stand in its path
[Chorus]
[Both]
These are the ashes of our trust
Black in my lungs
Cut deep in my gut
You say my name
And it tastes like rust
Can we kill this ghost
Or are we both just dust
[Male]
How do I love you
When the cracks all spread
[Female]
I’ll take every blow
For the words I said
[Both]
These are the ashes of our trust
Tell me is love
Ever worth this much blood
[Bridge]
[Male]
I’m tired of replay
Tired of that night on loop (on loop)
Every kiss tastes like
A courtroom in this room
[Female]
So chain me to truth
Or just cut me loose
If you walk away
I’ll still choose you
[Both]
Can you look in my eyes
And not see his sin
If this is our hell
Do we burn or begin
[Chorus]
[Both]
These are the ashes of our trust
Screaming your name
Till my throat turns to dust
If we’re gonna break
Then let’s make it just
One final fall
Not a slow
Poisoned cut
[Male]
If I take your hand
Will you pull me through
[Female]
I’ll wear every scar
If it keeps me with you
[Both]
These are the ashes of our trust
If we rise from this
Let it rise as something new (something new)
