[Verse 1 – Male]
He watched her fade like a setting sun
Love slipped through like smoke from a gun
He kept her picture in a drawer
And drank to feel her less, but only missed her more
[Verse 2 – Female]
She cried at night, alone in bed
Read the words he never said
Waited years for him to call
Till silence echoed louder than it ever had at all
[Chorus – Both]
They burned so bright, but lost their flame
Now all that's left are ashes in the rain
Two hearts too proud to say goodbye
Now they haunt each other every night
They let it die, too slow, too late
Now love just lives in a lonesome state
One drank pain, one wore blame
Now they're just ashes in the rain
[Verse 3 – Male]
He passed that house on 23rd
Where memories scream but go unheard
He wonders if she ever knew
He’d give it all just to undo
[Verse 4 – Female]
She found a note he left behind
Folded tears between the lines
And though he’s gone, she reads it still
The words say “Love you — always will”
[Chorus – Both]
They burned so bright, but lost their flame
Now all that's left are ashes in the rain
Two hearts too proud to say goodbye
Now they haunt each other every night
They let it die, too slow, too late
Now love just lives in a lonesome state
One drank pain, one wore blame
Now they're just ashes in the rain
[Outro – Both, soft]
One drank pain, one wore blame
Now they're just ashes in the rain
