Ash Tray Confessions

Verse 1

There’s lipstick on my whiskey glass

And smoke in my lungs

You said goodbye without a sound

Like you’d already done

I watched the clock bleed into dawn

On a chipped motel wall

I held your name inside my mouth

But never made the call

Chorus

These are ashtray confessions

I don’t say out loud

Burning every truth I got

Till there’s nothing now

These are ashtray confessions

Spoken through regret

If I loved you any harder

I’d be dead by yet

Verse 2

Your shadow sleeps beside my coat

On this cold motel floor

I count my sins in half-empty packs

Can’t remember who for

The jukebox hums a dying tune

Like it knows my face

I keep waiting on forgiveness

In the wrong damn place

Chorus (repeat)

These are ashtray confessions

I don’t say out loud

Burning every truth I got

Till there’s nothing now

These are ashtray confessions

Spoken through regret

If I loved you any harder

I’d be dead by yet

Outro

The fire died before I did

That’s the truth I kept
