Strangers in the Ashes

[Verse]
I gave you my air when I couldn’t breathe
Carried your burdens while sinking beneath
Offered my heart though it cracked at the seams
Now I wake without you fading from my dreams
[Verse 2]
You watched as I crumbled piece by piece
My cries for help met with silence
No release
Built a bridge from my pain
You burned it to dust
Now I rebuild alone
No one left to trust
[Chorus]
Strangers in the ashes of what was once gold
A love so warm now bitter and cold
I gave my all
But it wasn’t enough
You tore me apart while calling it love
[Verse 3]
Your words were honey concealing the sting
I soared through the clouds on your broken wings
Believed in your whispers
Sweet as they seemed
Yet behind the curtain was a darker dream
[Bridge]
Now I walk alone but somehow lighter
A soul undone yet I feel brighter
Pulled myself up from the void you cast
Found strength in the storm I’m free at last
[Chorus]
Strangers in the ashes of what was once gold
A love so warm now bitter and cold
I gave my all
But it wasn’t enough
You tore me apart while calling it love
