[Flame] 🔥 Quadeca - Ashes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She liked for me who she wanted me to be
Using TV screens and DVDs
To try and ease the creaks between these dreams
We sold to each other with some free deceit
Please keep the receipt
I know that you’re really not who you try to be, I guess
I fell in what I thought was love
To a person who’s truth was a lie to me
And I believe shit wasn’t always like this
So much distance between us, now I guess
My thoughts finally have enough room to digress
And digest the time spent with you in my head
Maybe I’m fuckin’ crazy, man
I’ve never been with a better person
But I gave my heart for love
And in return, I got sent this synthetic version
Yeah, am I an asshole for making this?
Truth is, this ain’t a breakup song
This a makeup song, taken way too long
Don’t wanna play or move on, I wanna stay with you long
Yeah, yeah
Wanna stay with you long
Yeah
[Verse 2]
After one year, we’re more of strangers than ever
We’ve grown to be strangers together
Like two randomers who take the bus everyday
And the only conversation is like statin’ the weather
Every date we had was almost a first date
But we’ve already stolen second and third base
I met you like nine-thousand times now
And I found that I’ve drowned in your eyes so many times now
That I learned how to breathe underwater
But I ain’t gone for a swim in a while now
Shit changed, and I’m switchin’ my style now
No MTV bullshit, I ain’t wildin’ out
Writin’ it all out, seeing my thoughts just fall out
Wanna call out, but I- but I gotta drop out
Yeah
[Chorus]
Do you remember how those sparks we imagined
Turned to shit burnin’ brighter than some stars everlastin’?
But all I see is the ashes
A cremated love, ain’t no need for a casket
[Post-Chorus]
So please just hand me a few matches
I’ve seen it resurrect before like Jesus, it’s magic
But all I see is the ashes
A cremated love, ain’t no need for a casket
[Verse 3]
Found a new girl from a new world
And I know that is startin’ nice
And just because it’s part of life doesn’t mean that it ain’t hard to bite
Cliché while I’m followin’ the archetype
Turnin’ on the lights in the dark of night
Tryna make it all alright, for some reason, it ain’t hard to write
I didn’t even get to call her twice
I never even tried to start a fight, yeah
Disregard the dreams that I had
Mixin’ all with the scenes with the bad, I can’t even see what we had
All I know is that it’s now a piece in the trash
Just a piece in the trash, yeah
[Chorus]
Do you remember how those sparks we imagined
Turned to shit burnin’ brighter than some stars everlastin’?
But all I see is the ashes
A cremated love, ain’t no need for a casket
[Outro]
Yeah
A cremated love
Ain’t no need for a casket
Yeah
