You left the door wide open
Cold air killed the flame
I watched you walk out frozen
Never heard you say my name
I counted every crack in the ceiling
While you packed your alibis
Now the only thing I'm feeling
Is the fire behind my eyes
Don't tell me you're sorry now
Don't wear that dress of regret
You had my heart on a silver plate
And you dropped it like a cigarette
The ashes, the ashes
They're all that's left of you and me
But watch me rise from the rubble
Watch me walk through the debris
You think I'm broken?
Baby, I'm just getting started
Every scar you gave me
Is a drum I'll beat till dawn
I used to whisper your name like a prayer
Now I scream it like a curse
You built your lies like a staircase
And I fell for every verse
But the ground taught me something
The lower you go, the harder you bounce
So thank you for the nothing
Now watch me announce
No more tears in my coffee
No more sleeping in your shirt
I'm turning all your promises
Into the dirt, the dirt, the dirt
The ashes, the ashes
They're all that's left of you and me
But watch me rise from the rubble
Watch me walk through the debris
You think I'm broken?
Baby, I'm just getting started
Every scar you gave me
Is a drum I'll beat till dawn
I could've been your kingdom
But you wanted a war
So here's the sound of me leaving
And not wanting you anymore
The ashes, the ashes
They're all that's left of you and me
But watch me rise from the rubble
Watch me walk through the debris
You think I'm broken?
Baby, I'm just getting started
Every scar you gave me
Is a drum I'll beat till dawn
鈥eat till dawn.
