You left a fire burnin', didn't care how it hurt me
But now you're back, lookin' for what's already gone
You thought I'd wait like the moon waits for the sun
Through all your lies and the damage you'd done
I gave you love, you gave me regrets
Now you want to fix what you couldn't respect
But baby, love ain't a one-way flame
You can't come back thinkin' it'll burn the same
There's only ashes where the fire used to be
You burned it down, left nothing for me
Now you're standin' in the smoke, beggin' for my heart
But all you'll find here are the scars
There's only ashes, baby, only ashes
You're tellin' me now you made a mistake
That the grass wasn't greener, it was just fake
But I've learned to dance in the cold night air
While you were out searchin' for love elsewhere
You left the embers to die in the rain
Now you want to light 'em up again?
There's only ashes where the fire used to be
You burned it down, left nothing for me
Now you're standin' in the smoke, beggin' for my heart
But all you'll find here are the scars
There's only ashes, baby, only ashes
Go find another fool to light your flame
I've risen from the dust, I'm done with the pain
What we had's been scattered to the wind
I've moved on, you can't start again
There's only ashes where the fire used to be
You burned it down, left nothing for me
Now you're standin' in the smoke, beggin' for my heart
But all you'll find here are the scars
There's only ashes, baby, only ashes
You thought you could rekindle the flame you killed
But all that's left is ashes... cold and still
