The Ashes Of You

Can’t build a life on the ashes of you
Can’t find a love and leave you alone
Can’t carry on when you seem stuck
Can’t go anywhere without your luck

Cant seem to let go, Cant hold on
Haven’t seen you for long
But remember your ways
Can’t seem to forget why it was so bad
Can’t carry on and leave you behind

Can’t go back to the way things used to be
Can’t see a future in any other street
Need to move on now but don’t know how
Can’t build a life on the ashes of you

Can’t seem to belong, cant seem to not
Can’t seem to rationalize or Follow my heart
Cant live without you, while I already have
Can’t build a life and not tell you

Going separate ways has so much more than said
So many things that head in different ways
While this feels right, so did you
Can’t tie a string without making a knot

Can’t hurt you more than I already have
Can’t hear a tear even in my mind
Too much has gone by
Too many cracks to fill
I don’t have the strength nor the will
I can’t define what we will be
Some day when the cracks begin to heal

Did forget why we fell in love
Did forget why we fell out so
All that remains is an ache and a breath
A distant memory of a life well-lived

I will ask you one day, If I can go now
It’s been long enough
What if you still say stay
What if I need more
What if I always did

I have loved you much, it drained me out
I have ridden the waves of passion, and been kicked out
I don’t need a harbor, I need to float
If I find another boat, Can I please go?
