Intro : Smoke remembers — what fire forgets. Names fade — but warmth regrets. Verse 1 : The night still burns beneath my skin, Your ghost breathes out — the world breathes in. I touch the flame — it doesn’t hurt, Just ashes now… inside the dirt. (hold your breath… stay unseen) (shadows hum… where we’ve been) Pre-Chorus : You were the spark I tried to save, But love’s a promise — time won’t brave. The wind still sings our silent part, I wear your echo — close to heart. Chorus: Ashes of lo—ove… (melismatic rise) fall slow, fall deep, Cover the dreams… we failed to keep. Ashes of lo—ove, they never lie, They burn so soft — before they die. Verse 2 ? The fire spoke — but I was deaf, Too blind to see what still was left. We broke the vows, forgot the song, And learned that warmth… can’t last long. (quiet noise… breath rewind) (we were gods… for a fragile time) Pre-Chorus : You were the flame I couldn’t hold, Now you’re the dust — the sky turns cold. I watch the smoke, it draws your name, The air still glows — it’s not the same. Chorus : Ashes of lo—ove… fall slow, fall deep, Cover the dreams we failed to keep. Ashes of lo—ove, they never lie, They burn so soft… before they die. Bridge : We loved in ruin — learned to fall. We lost it all… but had it all. Between the smoke — the heart still beats, Ashes remember — where fire meets. Final Chorus: Ashes of lo—ove… fall slow, fall deep, Cover the wounds… we couldn’t keep. Ashes of lo—ove… no truth, no lie, We burn in silence — you and I. Outro : Not gone… just changed. Not lost… just flame.
