Left in the ashes

I was broken when you found me, just a shell, no flame

Lost my fam, lost my friends, didn’t even know my name

Used to scream at the sky, “God, what did I do?”

Then you walked in my life like a light breaking through

You smiled like the sun, said I mattered again

Put my trust in your hands, thought you’d help me mend

You kissed all my scars, made the pain feel small

For the first time in years, I believed in it all

But you played me like a game I was destined to lose

Gave you all I had, but you picked and you bruised

You were poison in a dress, with a halo disguise

Now I’m drowning in the truth, buried under your lies

I was rising from the ashes, now I’m falling again

Guess the devil wears a smile and pretends to be a friend

You lit me up just to watch me crash

Now I’m nothing but a name in the smoke and the ash

You whispered sweet dreams, said you’d never let go

But your heart was a blade, cut me silent and slow

Every “I love you” was a thread in your trap

Pulled me close, then you vanished and never looked back

You were dancing in the dark with another man’s ghost

While I bled for a love that was hurting me most

Now I sit in the ruins of the boy I once was

And the silence is louder than your fake applause

You played me like a game I was destined to lose

Gave you all I had, but you picked and you bruised

You were poison in a dress, with a halo disguise

Now I’m drowning in the truth, buried under your lies

I was rising from the ashes, now I’m falling again

Guess the devil wears a smile and pretends to be a friend

You lit me up just to watch me crash

Now I’m nothing but a name in the smoke and the ash

Now I walk alone where the memories burn

With a heart that don’t beat, and a soul that won’t turn

If I ever learn to trust again

It won’t be with fire wearing human skin

So here’s to the boy who believed in you

And here’s to the pain that you turned into truth

I was healing, I was starting to breathe

Till you came like a storm, now I’ll never be free
