Prompt / Lyrics
I learned first aid at six years old Bandaged wounds while the nights got cold Mama worked while we held the line Behind closed doors, we ran outta time I chased a dream I thought was love Held on too tight, when push came to shove I wanted more than this world could give But I forgot how to truly live Then I fell into something deep Promises made that no one would keep Heard sweet words, but they turned so fast Into echoes from a haunted past And I stayed… ’Cause I thought love meant holding the pain I forgave… When my heart cried out in vain Ashes ain’t home, but I lived in the smoke Tried to build peace from the pieces she broke I held every secret like stone in my chest Now the silence is louder than the rest Ashes ain’t love, but I stayed in the fire Burned through the truth, through every desire She said forever, then watched me fall Now I don’t feel anything at all I was told she’d change, and I believed Every version of her that deceived Doors slammed shut with nothing said But I held on, still seeing red She would disappear, then come back sweet Tear down walls I tried to keep I lost my way between right and wrong Tried to make weak love feel strong I’m not angry, just worn to the core Been through battles I can’t ignore Carried the weight of broken trust While everything we built turned to dust I don’t want revenge, I just want peace The kind that only comes with release Tired of the cycle, tired of pain Tired of dancing in the same old rain You can keep the house, the frame, the ring I’m walking out with everything Ashes ain’t home, but I lived there too long Trying to fix what always felt wrong I gave my soul to a promise gone cold Now I’m walking out bold Ashes ain’t love, but they taught me to see I may be broken, but I’m finally free No more chains, no more fears to recall I may feel nothing— But I survived it all They said I was lost, but I’m finding my name In a quiet heart, unshaken by shame Ashes ain’t home… But I’m going home.
