Ashes

So much for this perfect night
The wind has changed I think you’re right
Its feeling way too comfortable
And I
Think its time we set this place on fire

And looking back its all the same
Just dancing in that pouring rain
And I know that I’ve been distant
I’ve been holding all my cards to my chest but I still think about

The night we walked that beach and
Then we lied there on the dock
You told me that you waited
For this ship to come along
And now its sailed and I am anchored
To the path that I am on
And I know you think I’ll come around but I’m already gone

So here’s to all those broken lines
And the words we said a thousand times
I can be your liar be your monster now
Whatever helps you sleep at night

And I’m sorry that it all went wrong
I’m sorry that were moving on
And I know that you’ve been crying
Having witnessed to deceit
And the cold is creeping slowly
From the ashes of defeat
And I

And I’m hoping you can let me go

And I never got the chance to say
I loved you all along the way
Those nights all turned to remnants
Of time just passing by

And I know you had to walk away
But there’s a part of me that wished you stayed
Just right there on that dock
Where all those stars spun round our heads

And I hope love finds you
Love is gonna find you
Love is gonna find you
Again
