Ashes and Embers

I didn’t see this coming

I guess you never do

Life takes you by surprise

And you’re starting over new

I’ve been holding things together

But I can’t keep holding on

The best part of me is broken

And you keep moving on

From ashes and embers

I’m trying to rebuild

There’s nothing to hold on to

I’ve got nothing left to give

When you said you were leaving

You were already gone

Now ashes and embers are all that’s left

Where there once was a home

And Heaven can’t come soon enough

If there is such a place

And all the hell you put me through

My heart can’t erase

I can’t go on believing

That a better day will come

As I sit in the empty house

With this loaded gun

From ashes and embers

I’m trying to rebuild

There’s nothing to hold on to

I’ve got nothing left to give

When you said you were leaving

Girl you were already gone

Now ashes and embers are all that’s left

Where there once was a home

I could drive all night to find you

But I know you won’t be alone

Either way this goes tonight

One of us ain’t coming home

From ashes and embers

I’m trying to rebuild

There’s nothing to hold on to

I’ve got nothing left to give

When you said you were leaving

You were already gone

Now ashes and embers are all that’s left

Where there once was a home

From ashes and embers

I’m trying to rebuild

There’s nothing to hold on to

I’ve got nothing left to give

When you said you were leaving

Girl you were already gone

Now ashes and embers are all that’s left

Where there once was a home

Either way this goes tonight

One of us ain’t coming home
