Stained Horizon - Ashes of Us Lyrics

You were the spark that lit the fire consumed me whole my sole desire
But every flame burns brighter before it fades into the dark
I held your hand through the chaos and pain
But I'm left holding ashes in the pouring rain

Why did you promise forever when you only meant today
Left me with pieces that time can't take away

And now I'm reaching for a shadow you're a ghost I can't erase
The echoes of your silence leave me shattered in this space

I see you but I can't feel you anymore so walk away
I need you but I can't need you anymore you hesitate
You were the poison in my veins the reason I'm undone
I gave it all but you left me with none

Every time you came back around
You left a mark a scar that held me bound
A fleeting glance a whispered lie
You promised us the stars but left me reaching for the sky

Why did you teach me to love when you couldn't stay
Left me searching for a reason as you drifted far away

And now I'm screaming to the heavens but no one hears my cries
Your love was my salvation now it's just my alibi

I see you but I can't feel you anymore so walk away
I need you but I can't need you anymore you hesitate
You were the poison in my veins the reason I'm undone
I gave it all but you left me with none

You took the light and left the shadow
You took my dreams and left me hollow
I thought we'd stand through the endless storm
But now I'm breaking torn and worn

Why did you lie why did you stay
Only to turn and walk away

Burn me down take what's left
Steal my heart leave my breath
You hesitate hesitate
And now it's too late

I see you but I can't feel you anymore so walk away
I need you but I can't need you anymore you hesitate
You were the poison in my veins the reason I'm undone
I gave it all but you left me with none

You were my fire and I burned
But all that's left are lessons learned
I'll take the ashes bury the pain
And rise above what still remains

You hesitate but I won't
