OUR ASHES
There is just no use to fight anymore
No point to pretend to be blind
The blood does still stain the floor
This tragedy did take place here
Words are so pointless at this point
Just as meaningless now as they were before
Maybe after everything else even more so
Memories are now just uneeded reminders
It's time to move on, and let go of you
Turn away, let you fade, I'm sure you'll do the same
I'm sure compared to me, you'll make it seem easy
Love means nothing in the end
And everything in life has a ending
Is this fate, or did we make mistakes?
Would, if I could, change this story?
Warn myself of the road we took?
If I was just someone looking in on this
Would I hate myself for being me?
I feel no guilt, but I do feel regret
Is there no more to you than this?
Could there have been more done?
I stand as the house we built burns
I stand motionless as our ashes rain on me
Watching it as the smoke burns my eyes
I will not fight these flames anymore
They will consume, destroy all we built
Your choices were what started this fire
But it's my indiffernece that will let it burn unopposed
This time I will not subdue the flames you sparked
And I can see it in your eyes as you realize this
As you finally see me truely giving up on you
As I do the one thing you thought I could never do
Especially what you didn't think I could do to you
I was the one thing that never changed in your life
A constant that kept you grounded and safe
You counted on me to there like you knew I always would be
But I'm afraid it's time to finally disappoint you
Finally do the only thing I could ever do to break your heart anymore
Walk away from you and not ever look back
I've stood alone in the rain for you enough times before
It's time I came inside and warmed up in the light
Even if you turned yourself inside out I'd still walk away
My only parting gift I could ask would be the truth from you
For you to finally look me in the eyes and tell me what I know
That my love was never enough and I'm not who you want
No lies, no foolish pride, no empty promises or nothings
The painful truth I've worn on my sleeve all these years
That theres no future for us,and nothing in your heart for me anymore
There is just no use to fight anymore
No point to pretend to be blind
The blood does still stain the floor
This tragedy did take place here
Words are so pointless at this point
Just as meaningless now as they were before
Maybe after everything else even more so
