ashes dont lie

Met a girl who got a heart that feels like sunrise

She don't question all the darkness in my bloodline

She said, "You wait while I'm learning how to feel again"

Said, "She ain't scared of the ghost you left inside my chest"

No

When she kisses me I swear I taste your sin

You like perfume on my skin I can't wash out again

She's the light, you the neon in my midnight

Still glowing in the back of my mind like a warning sign, whoa

I don't wanna compare

But you left me fucked up

She's treating me right

Something you never cared, still you show up

Right when I'm moving on

But ashes don't lie

What we had already died

I keep trying to revive

Something cold deep inside

But baby, baby

You ain't my future just the fire I survived

Now I see the truth in her eyes

And damn she feel like sunrise

But ashes don't lie

She asks why I still sleep on the edge of the bed

I said I'm used to leaving space for all your mess

She just held me like she knew what you stole from me

Said, "Boy, I'll love you till you learn to love in peace," yeah

And that hit harder than the pain you left behind

You only love me when it fed your twisted pride

She sees the cracks you carved into my heart

But she treats 'em like art

She making space where you tore me apart

I don't wanna compare

But you left me in pieces

She's giving me peace

Something you never shared, still I won't lie

Sometimes you cross my mind

But ashes don't lie

What we had already died

I keep trying to revive

Something cold deep inside

But baby, baby

You ain't my future just the fire I survived

Now I see the truth in her eyes

And damn she feel like sunrise

But ashes don't lie

I'm done bringing you back to life

No more haunting me

No more burning me

Ashes don't lie

Goodbye

You the darkness, she the starlight

You the chaos, she the calm nights

You the flames, she the healing of my pain

I won't go back, no, no

Ashes don't lie

And your ash has been cold for a long, long time

I finally found love that don't burn me alive

And baby, even if I miss you, I ain't pressing rewind

She the truth, you the smoke in my mind

But ashes don't lie

I ain't bringing you back to life
