Madeline Stutte - Ashes Lyrics

My world is falling apart
Crashing in an everlasting flame
But somewhere deep in my heart
I know I've gotta step up and play the game
I don't want them to stare
I want to all that I can do
Because nobody's aware
Just how much I wish you knew

Disappearing like ashes
Just a moment when the world is dark
As my universe crashes
I try to make my mark
To rise above the ashes
To a place where they understand
As my universe crashes
I'll reach to take your hands

My thoughts seem hidden away
Rising to find it has restraints
I only wish you would stay
You're always willing to drop mistakes
We will just let them stare
We need to show what strength we hold
Make everybody aware
We're independent and we're bold

Disappearing like ashes
Just a moment when the world is dark
As my universe crashes
I try to make my mark
To rise above the ashes
To a place where they understand
As my universe crashes
I'll reach to take your hands
