ashes

I saw your coat by elevator

Didn't know if I should pull you close or let you go

You moved through that party like a rumor in Dior

And I kept my distance 'cause I wanted you to know

Yeah

I wasn't tryin' to be another ghost in your mirror

But every step you took just pulled me nearer

Oh

I was never tryin' to fade

You just read my silence like a masquerade

Did you think I walked away that fast?

Girl, I lingered in the afterparty haze

Hopin' you would turn and call my name

But you left me for the embers turn to ash

Maybe my touch felt too held back, too slow

But I was scared to fall for someone I barely know

I wasn't runnin', I was waitin'

Waitin'

Waitin'

You just never looked back
