Ashes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe it's the way your brain works
Maybe we don't use the right words
Baby, we're too stubborn, it hurts, it hurts
Hmm
I wish you could see what you do
You might hate yourself if you knew
But when I'm fightin', I'm a stranger to you, to you

[Pre-Chorus]
And all your insecurities are taken out on me

[Chorus]
You can call me a cryer, but you hurt me bad
Tears run like water, I'm not lookin' back
'Cause you're just a liar and all that we had
Is lost in the fire, burned into ashes

[Post-Chorus]
Keep 'em burnin'
Keep 'em burnin'

[Verse 2]
I don't wanna tell you goodbye
But I feel like I'm wastin' my time
And I don't see you changin' your mind, your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
And all your insecurities are taken out on me

[Chorus]
You can call me a cryer (Oh), but you hurt me bad (You hurt me bad)
Tears run like water, I'm not lookin' back (Not lookin' back)
'Cause you're just a liar and all that we had (All)
Is lost in the fire, burned into ashes

[Post-Chorus]
(Keep 'em burnin') Burned into ashes
(Keep 'em burnin') Mmm, burnin' to ashes
(Keep 'em burnin') Burn it to ashes, oh
(Keep 'em burnin')

[Bridge]
Oh, I fell for every single word you ever said to me
And all your insecurities are taken out on me
Take 'em out on me, go ahead

[Chorus]
Call me a cryer, but you hurt me bad
Tears run like water, so I'm not lookin' back
'Cause you're just a liar and all that we had
Is lost in the fire, burned into ashes
[Post-Chorus]
(Keep 'em burnin') Burnin' to ashes
(Keep 'em burnin') Burnin' to ashes
(Keep 'em burnin') Oh, burned into ashes, oh
(Keep 'em burnin') Burnin' to ashes

[Outro]
Burned into ashes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
