Ashes

I saw the ashes of your life
Cruelly reflected in your eyes
The images haunt me at night
With no way to turn on the light

Your laugh is vibrant in my ears
It almost feels like you're here
But then the harsh truth crashes down
And falls like ashes on the ground

This isn't real, I'm not awake
I'll open my eyes and leave this place
My heart is beating fast and strong
It can sustain the both of us

This isn't real you didn't leave
You're back at home, waiting for me
Only you're not the truth falls down
And now we're ashes on the ground

Adding darkness to my fears
The world is black when you're not here
Yet, since it's risen, now it's new
But it doesn't mean much without you

Fearlessness does not exist
And I'm afraid of saying it
There is merely what we endure
Now that's something of which I'm sure

This isn't real, I'm not awake
I'll open my eyes and leave this place
My heart is beating fast and strong
It can sustain the both of us

This isn't real, you didn't leave
You're back at home, waiting for me
Only you're not the truth falls down
And now we're ashes on the ground

Your voice, it echoes in my ears
Your words refuse to disappear
They've kept me brave and kept me strong
They've kept me alive for this long

I don't know that I'll ever heal
Wish I didn't know how to feel
But up here, I can taste the clouds
And suddenly, our laughter's loud

This isn't real, I'm not awake
I'll open my eyes and leave this place
My heart is beating fast and strong
It can sustain the both of us

This isn't real, you didn't leave
You're back at home, waiting for me
Only you're not the truth falls down
And now we're ashes on the ground

This isn't real
This isn't real
I'm gonna wake up next to you
I'll forget this nightmare soon

This isn't real
This can't be real
I'm gonna wake up next to you
I have to wake up next to you
